I've already upgraded my low beam halogen bulbs to an aftermarket Philip 4300k HID kits, it works brilliantly given our headlights are already fitted with projectors. The installation was a bit difficult though as there are limited space in the headlight assembly.

So I took it to an independent BMW specialist, he put the car on a hoist and access the headlights from the wheel arch after removing the wheel arch inner linings, it wasn't an easy job, took him about 1 to 2hrs for the installation.

As for the AEs, I did more research last night and finally found a solution, apparently someone from UK has successfully done a conversion on a E70 X5 pre LCI halogen (non-xeono) healights, the AEs is an "E90 style led bulb set", he also post the link on ebay

I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251035331292?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1423.l2649 but at £75 quid seems a bit expensive. I asked the seller for more info and he sent me this link http://xenonhid4u.co.uk/led-lighting-accessories-sidelights-interior-kits-number-plate-lights-daytime-running-lights-drl/angel-eyes-marker-kits/bmw-angel-eyes-led-upgrade-e90-91.html saying that his bulb looks identical, but has different resistors inside. He hasn't confirmed what wattage his are yet.
Hope this helps!
