Full Light/Fogs Replacements

[Dathaeus]

Ok so you all know I have had issues with lights... now one is out and the high beams look bad also and my fog has a slight crack and I would like more light anyways.

Please rate these products if they are ok for me... I am looking for max brightness as my aging eyes are having trouble in my almost no light neighborhood.

1. FOGS: (I am assuming these have the bulbs and casing all-in-one)

   I assume getting direct from Morimoto is better than from like Retrofit, Turner, Redline, etc?)
   
   
2. Light Case:

3. Bulbs

4. Ballast (I need this right?)

Am I missing anything, will this setup do? What about high beam bulbs?

Here are the Morimoto XB LED Fog Lights we did in a group buy through The Retro Source:

High beams are an H7 bulb - buy a good Osram/Sylvania Night Breaker or Night Breaker Laser bulb, or Philips NightGuide platinum or CrystalVision platinum bulb.

It says the group buy is closed... can i still get them?

And for the rest, I am good to go, it'll all work for me?

Group buy is long closed, but those are the lights you need - not the round ones in your link.

The link is dead and these are the only XB I see on the site:

They also look round and I assume u mean it needs to be oval?

Like these?

It seems TRS doesn't carry much for BMW these days. The lights at Redline360 appear to be what you need.

If it was me, I would look for an used set of AL headlights.

The ZKW headlights have the burnt bowl issue. I believe all the ZHP sedans have ZKW from the factory.

I need everything as u can see (not just a burnt bowl issue), its too much trouble to go through and trying to find something used and then worry about later when it goes bad or whatever.

So the stuff I listed looks good?

I'm not sold on the FK headlights. From the ECS Tuning link: "For off road show or display use only."

Have you considered new halogen headlights? I believe there's some coding involved.

ECS Tuning has some options: TYC, Magnetti Marelli, Hella.

As far as headlights go, personally I would buy a used set of AL brand like the ones below and then purchase new bulbs, gaskets and lenses and fix the issue with quality parts. Aftermarket replacement headlights are not great
