    Got 5500k 35W installed along with LED fogs. Everything is good so far. I took pictures but they don't do them justice.

    Yes they are! If you zoom into the table, you can see the Xb on the right and bmw's on the left. Now compare the size of the fogs to the width of the beam :eek:

    Ok here are some pictures of the 35W XB5500k Morimoto. You can see the cut-off is very good. I went driving around tonight, and they are clearly way brighter and better than stock.

    What's interesting is the XB LED High Beams look weak compared to the low beams.

    The fog lights are very wide. When the HID low beams are on and you're driving, turning these fogs on and off makes negligible difference. You almost can't tell until you look at the lane next to you.

    Here is the HID low beam with and without fogs. You can see that there is a curved line at the bottom end of the HID low beam. The fog lights have perfect lines above and below. This curved line is probably due the stock projector.
