Haha. And okay. It was just that in some websites, it was a darker shade, and in others, it was lighter. So it was hard to compare 6000k to 8000k.

It should be white. Sometimes mine have a hint of blue and sometimes a hint of purple.I have 6000k D1S's in my headlights and 6000k HID kit in my fogs. The pic in my sig was taken with an iphone so that's why they look yellow. If you look at the pic below taken with a dig you could see they are white.

Based off of your reaction, I am not sure if that is a good or bad reaction. The Xenon kit itself i believe was 225.00. That included the resistors that run in series to not give a code to the cars computer. The install I believe was 125.00. Again they did an amazing job. Cannot see where the ballasts are hidden and all the wiring is done professionally. Let me see if i can post some pictures. They are a HUGE difference between the regular lighting that comes with the car and the Xenons.

x-tian- I am looking to do the same retrofit you did for my headlamps. Can you please provide me with some details so I can get a local guy to do it for me as well. I was lucky that the new 2011's w/P1 come with the LED Hockey Sticks standard. Unfortonatly, my headlights are warmer in color temperture and thus it looks a litte funky (IMO) with the LED's on (LED's - white, Standard Headlamp - warm/yellowish). Thanks for the help.

Damn, you shoulda just got the P2 Package if you especially want to upgrade to BOTH units! Not to mention the other goodies you get from it. IMO P2 is the best value option you can get on this car (only like $1,500 extra or so right?).
Oh well, you live and you learn. I know I find that out for myself every day!

K-A,
Same here bro... I got a sick deal on my E so I decided to take it. If I had the patience and the deal I got, I would have gotten pano, P2, and accessories (rear spoiler... only 300 dollar option)....
Ohh by the way, you could have applied your logic above with the purchase of your rear spoiler recently right? heheheeh j/p

Here are my lights at 3am in the morning with my iphone 4... I hope they came out ok...
Oohh remember, because we have projector style head light assemblies, the light projects through those and not the entire headlight assemblies. The pictures dont do it justice....

Actually I was so pissed my car didn't have a Spoiler on it (only thing that it didn't have that I really was willing to pay for), I mean for $300 extra, c'mon!!
I kept trying to leverage the Dealer to throw it in, but no cigar.

Not sure if you heard a company in NJ specializes custom fabrication of automotive headlights.
Anyway, I read some really good reviews about their HID lights and company off the BMW forum. I know this company is also a sponsor of that site, but I am afraid it may violate forum rules if I reveal any info about this company at this moment...
More info later or via PM atm!
