Anyone tried LED headlight bulbs?

My rig is all original, and I want to keep it that way, so I installed the xenon headlight bulbs, it's enough of an improvement for me(no conversion necessary).

However, I get a all kinds of compliments on my led reverse lights(no conversion necessary)

If it helps any here's my write up on install, only thing is after hitting the water my left fog lamp went out and after that my headlight started to burn out the fuse. I install the OEM lights and have to find out what's the deal with my head lights and install a better set of HID lights.

When I was a regular on the BMW forums (Bimmerfest and Bimmerforums) DDM was widely considered one to avoid...From what I read their customer service is terrible and most of the HID kits are now shipping directly from Taiwan and are of poor quality...

Just passing that along..

I recieved my Kit for DDM directly from china, had China Postal stamps all over it. No complaint since I paid cheap for the kit. All I expected was them to last a year. For the light output, it was more than I expected.

Just stay at 55watt and don't go above that for regular filament bulbs. I put 110watt plasmaglows in my first car and they melted the housings!

Installed the 55w fog lights yesterday, drove it last night across town, even drove in the metroparks(no street lights). Huge difference now, with both xenon headlights & foglights. Total: $12.75 for 4 bulbs

BTW, that ebay seller has many other listings for the Xenon H10 bulbs... Great price and Fast shipping...
