does anyone know if the 335i headlights are 5100 5300 or 6000k?
i tried searching at google and all i found was ebay stuff...
went to the bmwusa.com but all they said is xenon auto adjusting..

help please!

 

i think they are pretty low on the kalven scale, i'll see if i can find it for sure on bimmerforums.

just wondering why do you want to know what level the stock one are? if you have one bulb out you should replace both not just one with hid's

 

oh no. i dont have a 335i. a friend of mine who has a saturn astra ( opel from europe) wants to put an HID kit on his car but didnt want the bluish ones (i believe its the 8k or 10k) i told him about the 6000k hid kit but he said they might be a little too blue for him.

he said he likes the HIDs on the bmw 335i. i would imagine all bmw cars have the same HID kit (maybe).

thats why i was wondering if the bmw 335i is a 5300k or a 6000k.....
jriggs. please do let me know if you find out what it is. thank you for your reply

 

I always bought 6000K after market anytime I did it because it was the most OEM white IMHO

 

here's what i found
they are 5300k but if you buy a cheap hid kit get 6000k for the same color cheap ones have less color

several friends have picked up sets from vvme.com they are around 80 shipped i think which is stupid cheap. all lets are currently working the guy with them the longest has had his over a year

 

{jriggs } all those bolbs from vvme.com are for bmw or are they universal how do i know they fit and 01 3 series

 

most OEM hids are 4300k. they are behind a blue tinted projector that makes them look blue. The stock replacement for your 335i is a D1S, anything else may not fit correctly or be shielded differently causing them to either be too bright or too dim. Hope this helps!

 

thanks for the reply people! my friend decided to get a 6k kit for his saturn astra. hopefully its not too blue for him.

i might get a set sometime when funds let me.

 

they are universal kits, you select your bulb type and its pretty much plug and play.

i think your low beams are H7's
and i think the fogs are the same

look around and double check that though thats just off the top of my head

 

low beams are h7, fog lights are 9006
