So I know not to do the angels, but what about the fog lights? Same issues?

Has anyone tried using this?

http://www.namotorwerks.com/products...hp/II=508/PA=0

Or this (Xenesis):

http://www.bimmian.com/vehicle.htm?veh=70

Denalio: Here's what I used: http://www.hoen-usa.com/
I don't think it is perfect match to the HID, but it is a lot better than stock and it is a lot brighter.

Good luck and let us know what you end up using.

Theres some pretty good information gathered on another forum about the angel eyes in new model bmw's that use the H8 bulb.

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84395

There is some good information there on why it is taking so long to come up with a satisfactory solution to the angel eye problem.

lakai: I just checked the link, good information, but kind of scary to do the mod. I am interested in the www.v-leds.com, but I wonder if it will give off a code on the X5. Has anyone tried it on the X5 yet?

You probably need to wire in a load resistor.

Also, the L.E.D.'s will not be nearly as bright as the halogen (less lumens).
