^I've had customers with both types of headlights use those bulbs. No one has reported any issues back to me.

Yesterday i have changed the H11 to LED and the dashboard gave error so i bought a 50 watt widerstand thats to let the car think it has a 50watt H11 so not thats working well

for now i have changed
licence plate to LED === NO PROBLEMS OR ERROR
H7========== very often once in a week one light does not turn on
so bought 1 other brand when i have time i have to install that.

H11========= after installing the 50 watt widerstand work OK

2 things to be changed H1 for high beam i already bought this one and will install it i think this week

and i need to buy the T10 as like what you said but i dont have the time to take the headlight out so who can be the first one to do it?
i think the T10 is same as the W5W and these with CANBUS shouldnt give any error

I'll try to change that bulb, if they are T10s then it won't break the bank if they don't work.

I decided to use 35w xenons rather than 55w due to worries of overheating.

When I changed my xenon bulbs to the focussing type I noticed that one of the bulbs had a white film over the glass where the light is emitted, I'm not sure what caused it, it may have been my fingers but I tried my hardest not to touch the glass. But I haven't noticed any yellowing yet, had the bulbs in for 2 months now..

I know its a hassle but try taking out the bulb and seeing if it is the problem rather than a melted casing - second time round it much quicker changing the bulbs! Wold be interested to know what was the cause if you find out

this w5w bulbs you found look nice..

If you are going to buy them from ebay i suggest you buy the ones that have 9leds
Set SMD LED Standlicht XENON BMW X5 E70 M W5W 9SMD CANBUS | eBay

i will be changing the h7 with a new set i ordered and will check if its was the bulb that went yellow, i already have the xenons in for more over year.

please keep me updated if you have changed the angel eyes.

yesterday i tried to put the H1 high beam LED in the X5. Do not buy because the head of the LED H1 is bigger then the normall H1 so it will not fit inside the hole.

Now i am checking to buy this one...

You already tried the t10 w5w angel eyes?

It's too cold

Currently in the alps where it's -12 so won't be trying to do the lights till I get back and it's a bit warmer

Bought some vredestein wintracs and the car is amazing in the deep snow!

Hi, did anyone manage to get to the bottom of this and find out what bulb is required for the angel eyes with standard halogen headlights?

Thanks
