Has anyone upgraded the bulbs in the eyelids? Bulb specs? Any photos?

I upgraded the P1 low beams to Luminics Krypton Titanium White H7's. They look good, much better than stock but far from HID. I will post photos in the next few days.

I've changed my 'eyelid' bulbs to white. The pics are in my sig.

Could you please give some specifics about what type of bulbs you used? Thanks!

hello hw do we change the eyelids?

GPI

I used the Polarg M-4 bulbs which is bulb type 194. You can find these bulbs in ebay.

GPI

It's not that difficult to change it. You just have to pop the hood and find the bulb holders which are located behind the headlamps and twist them open. Once you've done this, you can retrieve the bulbs and change them.

wow, that is nice. I wanna change mine soon! White eye lid

how close does the color match your headlight color? got any pics with with the headlights on?

Krytech

Changed to white? What color are the stock bulbs?? The pics in your sig looks like they have a blue tint to them. The bulbs you referenced even have a blue coating on them.

Are they brighter than the stock bulbs? Any light warning reported by the car?

Thanks for the info!

GPI

The color do match a little but not as white as my headlights. Btw, i changed my bulbs to 6000K

GPI

The color of the stock bulbs are yellow just like the foglights. The light in the pics look blue due to camera effects. They are slightly brighter than the stock bulbs and there are no warnings or errors.

Krytech

The stock HID is 4300K. I planned to get the Hoen LEDs but they are out of stock right now. I think someone did try to use LEDs and they wouldn't turn off even after they turn off the engine.

what kind of size bulbs are those ? thats hot thou like it

The Hoen LED bulbs, or any LED bulbs for that matter will not work as they require such a very low electrical draw that they will remain on no matter what. I have tried a variety of LED wedge bulbs but with no sucess.

These Polarg will work because they are incandescent just like the stock bulbs. I don't think the light from stock bulbs look yellow, though far from the xenons headlights, as they have a bluish coating on them. The Polarg may be whiter because it has a more intense blue coating on it.

I'll get it a try.

I ordered the Polarg bulbs today. I'll post pics when they arrive. I also ordered silver coated turn signal bulbs from ebay....the fried egg look is killing me!

So is this list accurate?

D1S Xenon Headlight
H7 Inner Hi beam
H7 Fog
W5W or 194 for city light
W5W or 194 for amber reflector on the wheel well

What type of bulb is used for the signal lamp?

misterng

It would be nice if aftermarket can come up with LED clear eyelids just like the one on A5 or facelift 5 series.

GPI

They are the 194 bulbs

GPI

Yes, the list is accurate. The signal lamp uses the 3857A bulb type

Installed my Hoen "city lights" today. I did one side first to see the difference but they looked the same to me.......

Hopefully it was bc it was daytime.

I may buy these if I can find them cheaper............
