Subject: Now, if we could figure out to control the brightness of those DDEs Author: zigor911 : member since February, 2004 : 2018 posts Posted on: 2006-01-06 11:20:08

There's one reason I'm holding on this mod - I, personally, would like to preserve original BMW look of halos, when they first introduced them on 5er (I used to have e39), and now carry through all product line. They are not that bright, but still visible - it's a statement of style and ellegance. 7000k, 8000k - are too bright, to the point where in 2001 e38s with chrom trim in the head lights it gets blurry....
