Re: Advice please re halo upgrade
My advice would be to change the car for a 2010 or later car and get free LED halos
Anything else looks rubbish and therefore best to keep standard.

Re: Advice please re halo upgrade
I see from the responses that I have not really made clear what I was asking.
I was hoping for someone who has done the upgrade to comment on the bulbs I have chosen thereby gaining the benefit of their experience. I did actually go through past posts on the subject and of the 15 in total quite a few are not related to the e53.
Anyway sorry to annoy if I have.
As regards buying an e70 I dont like them and I have four children in private schools so not at the moment but I would go for the F15 God willing when I can indulge my selfish desires.
If anyone can assist with advice that would help me confirm my choice of bulbs it would be greatly appreciated.

Okay thanks for that Richard just wanting a brighter version of what I have and I think these will do.
I wasn't trying to create an oem look. In regard to the rest of it I've been there, done it, had the women, cars and being a thug which is inherent but I have been enlightened by belief so it's all in the past. No offence taken anyway guys

Re: Advice please re halo upgrade
Or go to Hids4U - I 'think' I used there's 6 years back and still working.
You won't get a brighter light but it will be white. There's no way round that for the E53's (or E70s).
Dimmer but white....
