New owner soon

Just thought I'd say hi

Pick up my new 118d m sport on Thursday. My 1st BMW and 1st new car so starting to get excited now

I've bought a stock car so wasn't able to spec xenons. After driving a boggo 118 as a test car i know the standard bulbs for all lights need upgrading, if someone could point me in the right direction for new bulbs it would be greatly appreciated.

Will put some picks up once I've got it

Congratulations! You set a high bar!

Welcome to the world of BMW and congratulations!! Post us spec and pictures when you can!!

You have several choices: OEM BULBS From Philips Extreme give you bright white light similar to the Xenons. I did this on my previous 1-Series and was surprised how much better the lighting was against stock.

You can also swap the side lights, internal lights and number plate lights to bright LEDs. Dealers have an OEM accessories pack for this but in the UK there are several competent aftermarket detailing places that could do this at a fraction of the cost.
