I've never been happy with my R56 headlights, would love something brighter, and now that one bulb has burned out, it's time.

Trying to decide between these three.

Even after reading descriptions, I'm not sure I know how the Ultra differs from the zXe (is it just that the zXe is a whiter white?)

And I'm very tempted to go with the Hikari's, as the price doesn't seem too high. Part of the issue is trying to figure which is brighter, comparing watts to LMs, and also whether the Hikari's will play nice with the canbus.

Ultra: AMAZON

zXe: AMAZON

Hikari: AMAZON

Thanks...

I had the zXe before going to HIDs from www.xenonhids.com

I've been thinking about going LED & those Hikari are 1/2 the price of the xenonhids LEDs. I will say to make sure if you go LED to make sure it is the version that has (4) LEDs per bulb.....1 per side on on low & all 4 on high. I tried a set of LEDs from amazon that were 2 LEDs per bulb & the light dipersion was horrible if you don't have factory projector housings

 

Just picked up a set of the Hikari from Amazon:


I wasn't able to complete the installation. The pins on their male end do not line up properly with the pin holes on the female connector to the car. So I have no review, just that I couldn't install them.

They have 3 leds, one on one side (LB I assume), two on the other (HB I assume).
