Folks want to change the headlight bulbs on the Z4 for those 90% brighter bulbs...looks to be too many things in the way to do this so any tips would be much appreciated! thanks |

Looking at a US version of the owners manual, it seems to be outlined in there...

If they work on the merc then why wouldn't they work on the Z4 - what bulbs were you thinking of?

Just read Auto express bulb test from October '08, they tested the halford bulbs and score was low (2 stars)...Philips X-treme power came out tops of their tests (5 stars)
