Best Halogen bulb for the e46

[sdbimmer]

I have an 04 325Ci with non-Xenon. What bulb does it use, lows and highs? What do you guys recommend as a replacement for stock bulbs?

I've read about Osram Silvervision and Philips VisionPlus, what is better. I'm more concern about brightness and longevity of the bulb than the blue color of the light.


thanks for any info.

Check you Manual, the sizes are there. I believe it is 9006 for the Lows and 9005 for the Highs. Longevity is goo with any "quality" bulb. Both brands you chose are good. Check out PIAA also.

BTW, the Fogs are also 9006.

I think the Sylvania Silverstars are a good buy at half the cost of PIAA. I've got the Silverstars in my Pilot and had PIAA Super Whites in my Landcruiser and would rate the light quality to be similar.

Oh man, you really should have opted for those Adaptive Bi-Xenons. $700 option, but well worth it...no other lights quite like it!
