Was thinking of doing the replacement upgrade to the 6w 7K leds that seem to be available.Anybody done it here in the uk ?, which retailer did you use ? and are you happy with results ? any issues ?

I changed my front Marker Lights, as they are called to LED's. there has been great debate on here about how much brighter the 10w ones are. There are several past posts, some say the 10w ones are brighter, some sat their no different than the 3w LED,s
I bought mine from HIDs direct, I think they are a vast improvement on the yellow halogen ones, you must get the canbus error free ones.
If you want daytime driving light quality ones, spend 45k and buy a new X6 :))
HIDS direct have an EBay shop.
I also upgraded my dipped beam from 35w halogens to 55w HIDs and their brill too.
