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.

Holy Cow, I take it that you dont have the xenon light either, just the halogen type like mine is that correct?

BMW are really screwing us over with this, you would think that changing bulbs would be within the owner or driver capability.

yeh, I have the regular halogen, replacement cost T+M 400$

bad news...my car was not ready
BM does not approve the replacement of the unit
after the service guy called me in for the change, second time,
we'll see today...

he claims that all those plastic parts are closely fit and fragile and BM does
not want them to play there for nothing

lousy design IMO

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.

Are the angel eyes white already ?.. I'd think so if they are a LED bulb....would seem logical to be a LED bulb as they appear to be impossible to replace..!!!
