BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - Halogen bulbs with Xenon-like look?

I got som MTEC 4750K bulbs for my bike and those where exactly the same color as the LED DRL´s on the bike, so you can try for those. Just be aware that choosing a "white" halogen bulb adds a color filter. Every time you add a filter, you decrease light output.

There was a very good test recently.

Now.. Choosing a "Xenon look" bulb vs "not as blue" Osram Nightbreker Unlimited bulb will do two things
1. It WILL give your car a more xenon like look when the lights are on.
2. It WILL rob you of ~70feet range and 25 feet width on your lowbeam.

Now.. I had the MTEC bulbs on my bike because I only ride during the day, and night time here in Sweden (We are as far north as southern Alaska) doesnt GET dark in the summer.
