I talked to my supplier, here is the pricing if we do at least 10.

It is set up as package deal for $250 plus $10 shipping:

BI-XENON: HELLA EVOX-R (PAIR)

D2S: MORIMOTO 5FIVE DSP (PAIR)

D2S: MORIMOTO XB35 (PAIR)

More info can be found here: http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e3...rted for people that would like to buy a set.

There are two ways to set up the bi-xenon to my knowledge. You can plug your factory high beam connector into the new projector or you can buy a pigtail from local parts store and splice it into your factory harness. I spliced mine in so when i turn on my high beam both the original light comes on and the new hid high beam comes on.

The adjusters can be found on ebay and bimmerzone sells aluminum ones.

I'm interested, but from all my research it seemed like upgrading the ballasts wasn't really necessary. Thoughts? This is a pretty decent deal though. I guess you could look at it as getting the ballasts for $50.

Of course, none of this solves the problem of me trying to track down a set of bakeable lights, and now I probably have all you turds in this group buy to compete against too. :D

When I originally upgraded my bulbs only one came on and the other flickered. I contacted TRS assuming the bulb was defective, they told me my old ballasts were not powerful enough for the new bulbs and they should be replaced. Installed the new ballasts and never had another problem.

Will this work for a 2001 530 with factory halogens? If so, I'm in.

Guys

Why do this in parts? The difference is not a lot of money (relatively speaking) so start with all new, matching components. Most of us buy a car and change all the fluids so we have a known reference point. Same here, IMHO. If an issue arises, it won't be because the components are mismatched.

We need 7 more enlightened members (pun intended!). :cheers:

A couple questions: if we're getting the 50watt balasts with 35watt bulbs (as is in the package), will that be any issue? Also, what color (kelvin) bulbs will be get)?

Just to be clear, are the same bulbs what you have on the car in those pictures? Looks brilliant.

Is there any drawbacks to powering the XB35 bulbs with the 50watt balasts? Have anyone done this for some length of time? I'm 90% certain I'm in!
