E60 xenon's use D2S bulbs.. Now has anyone tried putting that bulb in a E39. E39 also uses D2S bulbs. This is the reason why i ask... E39 Xenon bulbs are 4300k which look a little yellow if your Fog Xenon's are 6000k.... and it looks like the E60 bulbs look like they are 6000k. ( I hear that ifthe bulb is the same that there should not be a problem, but i wanted to get your guys opinions on this ) If anyone has done this swap or has pictures it would be awesome....

You can get them from the same place you picked up your HID kit. I know someone locally, but seeing that you're in LA, that might not help too much
