Here's the website: http://www.bimmian.com/XEN/10

Also, is there a detailed 'How to' on installing them anywhere in the forum??
To summarize what those bulbs are in one word? "Crap". They are extremely hot filament (non-hid bulbs) that are pretty strong and bright but they run an incredibly high risk of melting your housings and lenses. They DO NOT match your stock hids. Nothing will ever perfectly match the stock hids unless you retrofit the stock fish eye projectors and use the same hid bulbs that bmw uses. The closest you can get to stock would be a quality 4300k Hid kit and even then the color will be verrrrrrrrrrry (like 300-400k) slightly off from the stock hids due to the fish eye/projector.

Btw most people won't notice the difference in color temperature up to 800k.
