HELLA H71070702 Optilux XY Series H7 Xenon Yellow Halogen Bulbs, 12V, 55W 2 Pack

I recently installed these low beam head light bulbs on my 2014 BMW 328xi. While these are great light bulbs for your low beams, they are very difficult to install. They are a bit whiter than my old low beam head lamps, please see my photos above for additional information. *I highly recommended watching a few “how-to” videos online before you even try to install these light bulbs. If you still want to do it yourself after watching the video, then following my advice may help you avoid some of the headaches that I experienced the first time that I tried to install my low beam head lamps. To begin, you will need a good flashlight or shop light and a regular sized flat head screwdriver. 1) First, turn the front wheels of your vehicle all the way to the right to install the left bulb, and to the left to install the right bulb. You need to turn the wheels in order to access the light compartment without removing the wheel which for some insane reason is in the wheel-well of the vehicle. (Thank you BMW for making this process extremely difficult). 2) MAKE SURE TO TURN YOUR VEHICLE OFF BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT TASK! Once the wheels are turned you can then access the light bulb compartment in the vehicles wheel-well. 3) To remove the plastic cover of the light compartment loosen the two tabs at the top and carefully pry it off with the screwdriver. Once removed you will see the round cover for the low beam light bulb. 4) Turn this to the left to remove, remembering that this one screws on and off. Do not try to pry the round cover off with the screwdriver or you will break it. Both of these covers should come off rather easily. Once inside the light compartment feel around for the back of the bulb. Once you discover the back of the bulb. 5) To remove the bulb you will need to very carefully stick your flathead screwdriver into the light compartment to move the small clip at the very top of the bulb so that it releases the bulb. (You’ll see this in the video when you watch it). You should hear a slight click sound when the top tab is released. The bulb will still be connected to the cord at this time. 6) Carefully pull the bulb and cord out of the light compartment. 7) Once out slowly wiggle the bulb off the plug being very careful not to damage the plug or cord. This may take a few minutes to do, but it will eventually come off, just make sure not to damage the plug or the cord. After you have removed the old bulb, take the new bulb out of the package being very careful not to touch the glass part of the new bulb. 8) When you have the new bulb out, slowly install the bulb onto the plug making sure that the small tab on the back of the bulb is facing up, and the circular part of the back of the bulb is facing down. (*SEE PHOTOS) 9) Once the bulb is on the plug, you can start to install the light bulb into place. 10) While working the bulb with one hand, you can watch from the front side of the vehicle to see that the tip of the new bulb is going into the correct hole. Watching from the front of the light compartment will help you to correctly guide the bulb into place. If installed correctly, (small tab UP), you will feel the bulb click into place. 11) Once installed, test the bulb to make sure that it correctly works. After your test, if the bulb correctly works you can 12) replace the round cover on the light compartment, (remember that this cover screws on) 13) then reinstall the square cover of the light compartment that is in the wheel-well. Make sure that this clicks back into place to ensure that debris does not get into the light compartment. You are now ready to do the other side of the vehicle because we always install new bulbs in pairs.Lastly, I highly encourage anyone that is going to attempt to do this to watch any of the great “how-to” videos online that will very clearly show you how to install the low beam light bulbs in your BMW. Good luck with your adventure, I hope that this review will offer some assistance to you with the difficult task of changing your low beam head lamps in your BMW 3-Series vehicle.

Este producto sí muestra casi el doble de intensidad que un foco convencional, mi recomendación es nivelar tus faros para que iluminen "más alto" casi como las altas, cuidando que no quede lo suficientemente alto como para deslumbrar a los otros conductores. Si usas tus faros con configuración de agencia que es casi casi para alumbrar objetos ya muy cercanos, pues, claro que no vas a notar ninguna diferencia.

Son la mejor opción con relación de calidad-precio

Used these on my BMW 328i. I was able to install these myself but I do hope I never have to again. Just FYI if you have the same car you gotta go through the wheel wheel and basically do everything blindly by feel. Try not to bend the tabs too much that hold the bulb in. That’s what I mistakenly did the last time I replaced these bulbs on one of the sides. One side went smoothly but the other I had bent so much the old bulb wouldn’t come back out. It ended up breaking apart while still clipped in and I spent the next 30 minutes cursing up a storm. I was able to get everything out and install the new one but I surely pray I never need to do this again on this car.I got the ones that are supposed to be a bit brighter and they do seem brighter. They also work well with the car and have not caused any issues compared to the oem version. So I would recommend these bulbs but just know what you’re getting yourself into if you do it yourself lol. If all goes well it’ll only take a few mins. But if not, could take longer and cut your hands up as well. Another reviewer wrote out a good step by step guide on how to change the bulb that I recommend you read.

Great vision from the bulbs. Work as intended as per specification, will only know its durability later.
