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...

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)
