Osram D1S Xenarc CBI Bulbs

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
Sold

Location:
✓ Will Ship

Item Interest
These are the best of the best HID bulbs made hands down. Direct swap for HID equipped F10's and makes your lights have that blue'ish white look instead of the stock yellow/white look. What makes these so sought after is that it makes the lights shift towards the blue'er look while INCREASING the lumens so you are not diminishing your light output at all that most common bulbs would do. These bulbs are practically new with 2 months of use. My new car will have LED headlights so no need for these awesome bulbs.

These sell for $200 and up and I bought these from a legitimate vendor (TRS) not from ebay which has a lot of fakes.

My price $150 firm.

Paypal is akl007@msn.com (please cover the paypal fees)

I will cover shipping.

These are ready to ship out.



Alan

Just to clarify these are real HID bulbs meant to replace your current factory HID bulbs. The swap takes 10mins to do and gives you a much nicer headlight color without looking yellow at all.

Nope.

These are exactly the same style bulbs that the F10 comes with but only better in terms of color and light output. The factory bulbs are also made by Osram but they aren't the CBI (cool blue intense) version that everyone is after. You simply remove the stock bulbs and replace with these.

:can you provide instruction on how to replace these in 10 mins? i'll take them if it's really a 10 mins job, i replaced mine with a pair from ebay, and apparently they were fake. and i took the bumper off to replace them.

Take off the bumper?? Not necessary at all.

1) Turn the wheel max in one direction
2) jack up the car from the side to give yourself more room
3) From the front wheel well/fender area look at towards the front of the car and you will see what looks like a mini door with two screws holding it in place
4) Remove those screws and the door flips open revealing the headlight bulb assembly

Realistically its about 10min per side but very very easy to do. jacking up one side of the car takes a few seconds to do but it gives you much more room to work with because it drops the front wheels down providing you with more space to stick your hand in.

This is how it was on my Msport 535xi and i'd expect it to be the same for your car as well. It would be pretty crazy for bmw to require a bumper removal just to change out bulbs!

I can ship this out first thing Monday from work UPS 2nd day.

Paypal is akl007@ msn.com

That's what I get for not logging in for a while. Nison, please let me know if you're willing to sell your stock bulbs.

I changed out my stock bulbs last year and can't seem to find my stock ones. I don't want the dealer to blame the aftermarket lights causing the issue with the condensation in my headlight.
