Thanks very much JB, these instructions are a great help but it sure is a big job just to change some bulbs, I realize now why the dealer wants the big bucks to do it.

I am bringing the car to the dealer tonignt
they need 3 hours to replace a left light assembly!!!!
no joke
they have to take many things apart
and dealer dislikes doing that
then they have to reprogram the computer
hopefully it will not create new issues

Tried the google search and all I can find is LED or xenon upgrades information,
I already have the other globes H8,H7.H11 but I cant find the one specifically for the angel eye.
sorry to ask but can you post the direct link to the bulb or just tell me what it is please.

Hey Bozz...

don't have to say sorry man, I would love to answer any question, if i know the answer...haha...

my girlfriend's E90 angel eyes uses the bulb on the left...

and from what i can see from the headlight under the bonnet, it should be either the one like E90 or the one on the right...

by the way...I don't think we need any H8, so i guess u can sell them...i've bought myself a H8 bulb as well, because everyone is telling me that angel eye are H8.....

fog lights are H11
Low beam are H7...

by the way are u thinking of getting HID for low beams?

Wow so the angel eyes are LED, thanks for the pictures mate that's excellent info.
All of the bulbs that I am upgrading to are the HID Mtec 4750K Cosmos Blue White type, so I will have to find some LED's to try and match them but don't know if that's possible.
Looks like I will have to give the H8 ones away as well.
