they are made by kaixen.. if youre interested PM me.. its basically plug and play, and i fabricated H7 bulb adaptors that e39s need.. so its really really easy

**im running 6.5k for the headlights, and 6k for the fogs** - im doing a write up w/ pics for the HID foglight install and ballast placements.

check out this thread for pics =)

That looks awesome. How much would just the fogs be?

Awesome! And those adapters are great. Most definitely an enthusiast and a skillful one at that.

Gratz. Looks good. Do you find the fogs to be overpowering with HIDs? With out projector lenses for the fogs do you think they bloom/bleed too much?

Does your OBC throw low beam codes out with the HIDs?

these are true pictures.. i took them last night w/ my sony digital 8mp cameral.. no alterations to the pic..just resized them.

theyre white if you stare at them head on (not recommended).. and its blue-ish otherwise..w/ a hint of yellow.

awesome!!!

so no fault codes eh???

you just installed the HID kit in your stock halogen angel eye lights? how's the beam pattern on those? i've always wondered about the difference between:

non-angel eye (pre-'01) hid headlights
non-angel eye hallogens with hid kit
angel eye hid headlights
angel eye halogens with hid kit

so if i can get my angel eyes installed maybe i'll just upgrade the capsules to a higher temp....

Those look NICE!

anyone know of a shop nearby (San Jose) with a pipe bender to get my ac filler pipe out of the way of the angel eye bulbs???

Looks sick man, do you get any complaints from on-coming drivers with them flashing their high beams at you? I was thinking about doing this mod in my touring but just noticed that your fogs are different from mine.

if you let me know what kind of bulbs you have i can find out if theres a kit for them.. PM me if you want

**ps - i updated this thread (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453187) to "help" answer some of your questions about the H7 bulb adaptor fitments**

Mine is actually and H7 bulb but I was saying that my housing is a bit different then yours.

The Beastmaster

Aren't all H7s housings the same? This waiting for my HIDs is driving me nuts!

mspecs - Where did you put the ballasts? I'm thinking about my wheelwell if it reaches that far.

im doing a write up this week on where to install the ballast for the fog HIDs.. (ill post later)..

but basically.. i took off the front bumper.. on the pass side i hid it under the intake (not in the engine bay).. and for the drivers side, its below the drivers side headlight (in the engine bay).. which is where i put the headlight ballast as well..

ill post pictures w/ the write up so you get a better understanding.. did you already order HIDs?

Ordered last weekend from umnitza. However, I may retrofit the fogs if I can get a deal on another set or parts.
