Washed it, drove it! 200 miles round trip. There I  tried an Eco drive, first decent long run. Eco mode. 70 mph all way, 50.3 (v disappointed). Back Normal mode, pushing on 42. That will be the first and last Eco setting/attempt ever.

I have mtec cosmos blue, but either of them will look better than the standard yellow ones so I'd get the cheapest

They seem very bright but not a good xenon colour match, look like super white mtecs, see comparison on garage door here http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138890

These are the ones I got mate http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=271132997804

The h7,8,9,11 crap is the fitment, so h7 will fit our cornering lights (we are talking about the ones that point sideways in the cluster yeah?) and the other bulbs in your car should all be led except your indicators and reverse bulbs but I'd only upgrade the reverse one as the the indicators are a bit pointless imo
