Xenon match bulb upgrade

Swapped out the OE driving lights for the Xenon-match sold through Bimmian www.coopersport.com/53/XEN and snapped a photo to compare. Light looks nice and white and matches the OE HID well. Good product for the money. New bulb on the left and OE on the right. Difference is clear.

Looks good. Might have to get some of those. You bought the fog light bulb for your driving lights, right? XEN53AFYY? Are they brighter in general or just a whiter color?

Wow - $29 to ship $35 bulbs? I guess I won't be buying from them.

Buy more :-)

I also ordered some more stuff and ended up with $0 cost shipping. They are in Canada so I now get the cost. Add an "Original" Xenon light bulb kit, a shorty 5-inch antenna (no more radio controlled car look), one of the color insert kits for the "S", and some of that colored stripping for the interior (not sure if I'll use it or not). But I agree - wouldn't do just those and pay high dollar shipping either.
