Just wanted to add a big thank you to @t8ups who immediately realised I was a numpty when I ordered two packs, thinking it was one bulb per pack.
Not sure what the benefits would be to go from Xenon to LED.Anyone consider changing the xenons lights on the B8.5 to leds. Looks to be alot of trouble more than its worth?

Yeah work just as before@t8ups I've just ordered a pair of yours, how do they perform as the cornering lights? do they fade off once you straighten back up like the existing halogens do or do they instantly turn off?
I'm still reveling in xenons being a mahoosive improvement over halogens. The idea that anything can be better still takes some getting used to.I had LED's on my B9, they were a big difference to the Xenons with a much clearer light.
Mine have just arrived; going in tomorrow morning.
Filters?Are you going to use one of the filters or just put them straight in?
Filters?
Now I’ve opened the box, I’ll be going bareback; no filters.
Exactly as @briceportier 's picture in post 56 above.And you've exactly the same LEDs as posted by other members

It's easy; the box image shows three different colour choices; use one or other of the two filters or no filter at all. Simples!
Yup; your existing ones are ice white halogen. I had a set too but for some reason one of them never worked properly so I reverted to the OEMs. I'm hoping for a better outcome tomorrow with the LEDs.It looks like Trups is now selling LEDs rather than the white bulbs that I got back when I changed mine. Might just be the time to change mine as well. I will ask him what is the difference between both (apart from the new one being LEDs and old ones not).

Hi all,
The halogen ice whites are what they say on the tin, a whiter halogen bulb, they perform the same as the oem halogen so is for the colour and for the price and very good mod.
The led versions are the latest offering, as everyone has said the filters are only there if you either want to go 3000k or like 8000k, i have never tested these filters but all the ones i have fitted have never had then and are awesome right out the box. These are an upgrade, approx 4 times brighter than a halogen.
These leds come all aligned, for the fog lamps you dont have to do nothing, some cars that run H11 bulbs (mainly jap) have to put them in upside down so you have to adjust them. On these you wont.
Thanks for the orders. We have 3 sets left in stock now till the 15th of feb.

It’s held by spring clips. I pushed a small thin screwdriver into the gap between the inboard pointy end and the bumper and levered it out.@jdp1962 how does the fog light grill come off? Thanks.
