Wanting to use hid's
Has anybody used HID's in their F56 that has halogen bulbs stock. Any problems? if not what brand is recommended
|
Bad idea. The reflectors are not designed for a HID bulb.

^^ don't do it. you will be blinding everyone else on the road.

+1 Yea, it will blind everyone. Not focused.
One options is to go with the H4/ 9003 Osram silverstar bulbs https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2014-...ng/Headlights/ https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/ES2857/ https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...1aaa798184.jpg |

I'm running Silverstar Ultra bulbs for high beam on my Suburban and they put out very good light. I was told at the time that I was giving up longevity for more light output, but I've had the same set for 4 years now. Just be careful and do NOT handle them bare handed when installing them. The oil from your fingers will create a hot spot and kill the bulb prematurely. |
+1 Good bulb , nice light and nice to keep the stock wattage.
Very good tip vet, yes you have to be careful on the install and the oil from your fingers. gloves help. |
