Lights
I need brighter (LED/HID) headlights and want to replace everything: side-markers, parking/driving lights, headlights (low beams and high beams).
I'm having a difficult time locating the exact bulb replacements and also determining the difference between good manufacturers and bad manufacturers.
What do you recommend?

if you have HID XENON headlights then it’s a D2S size and I recommend Osram CBI or CBB from theretrofitsource.com

Are these the side-marker lights?

It says "parking lights," but these are too small to be the parking or "driving" lights.

Most people don't realize that your HID bulbs, due in fact dim over time. So if your haven't replaced them say in the last 4 years your due. Simply changing the bulbs will definitely brighten your day. The E63 uses a Sylvania D1S bulb, and I would say that the E55 uses the same but unsure.

If you don't have factory HIDs, I recommend the retrofit lab's kit
