1999 Z3 Bulb Upgrade Options

[Si Mcinerney]

Good afternoon, can my of you fine people recommend a light bulb upgrade package? So many different bulbs available but interested in ones that work correctly without fault warning lights.

Thank you

I used these, 1156, 581 (depending on the pin configuration on your zed) and the T10 wedges for the side repeaters and bumper lights. Not cheap but the 80w clears for the reversing lights are just amazing. Dont use clears in the red lens lights as these are so bright they make them look pink, use red ones.

NB if you do the indicators you will need a modified flasher unit, @5harp3y sells them on here.

I used
Reversing 80w clear
Fogs 80w red
Rears 60w red
Brakes 80w red
Indicators 80w amber

Have to agree with Niall on the dip and main beam osram nightbreaker plus good performing bulbs

I have the same bulbs in my daily drive and was sick to death of getting blinded by modern light, I went to my local motor factors and got some 80 watt high bean bulbs that fit in the dip position, they do them for track cars and such, the difference was night and day
had them in all winter and not one person flashed me foir dazzling them
