OSRAM SYLVANIA D1S 5000K HID Bulbs

I just upgraded my E63's HID bulbs from the stock 4300K to OSRAM SYLVANIA D1S 5000K HID bulbs.

The difference in appearance is very subtle. Just a bluish / white tint, but the difference in the lighting is very apparent in my opinion. I see more detail, and the whiter light allows for seeing things with crispness.

I would recommend 5000K for those of you who want just a little bit more than stock but trying to stay away from ghetto aftermarket blue.

I went with 6000k.. Perfect color in my opinion.. Lights are def one of the most underrated mods on these cars.

I went with 6000k as well for head and fogs on the 63. But I did go with the 5000k on my E320. I prefer the 6000k look and the 5000k are a brighter white which matches the vintage E320.

I swapped out the oem hid headlamps for the 6000k. The 4300ks do not match up well at all. I have the error free leds for my city lights.

Right on the money, except we were going the opposite way. It was a nice orchestra with the c6 vette as camera car, 996tt you see in the background and a few bikes. All have modded exhaust so tunnels are epic.
If you could pm me how u swapped the low beams that'd be great. Tired of the 4300k.

Are these the exact bulbs you ordered? They are for the lams on the inside of the main lamps right? Also, what bulb do you use for the fogs?

Yup, those are the ones. The fog HIds are H11s. But it depends on what you have in there now. Pull out your original and match it up.
