    F30 Xenon bulb

    What D1S bulbs do you recommend fitting when the original ones are dimming?

    I think Phillips is the OE provider to BMW for that lamp. Also Osram is a good quality lamp too IMO.

    Fancy names don't make a bulb work better. Just be sure to replace them in pair's otherwise you will get one brighter than the other.

    Also be sure to look at the Lumens Output, for that will tell you which lamp is brighter.

    Then it just comes down to reviews you find on Amazon or similar, or just go with the cheapest one.
