Angel eyes confusion

Quinten · 02-27-2010, 12:43 PM

The drivers side corona rings do not light up. I looked through my Bentley manual, and I don't really see which bulb to replace. It shows the low beam, high beam, and turn signal unit, but I don't see something for the eyes. I think it's the H8 bulb that I have seen people talking about regarding upgrading.

Is it a separate bulb? H8? And is this the one accessible through wheel well?
Thanks

It's not an H8 bulb for a pre-lci E90...it's a custom bulb that BMW used

Oh crap! That makes a little sense when the BMW parts guy said he didn't have anything in stock. Yet he didn't really no why.

Yep, you can replace it by going through the wheel well but need the BMW specific part.

hey can someone on this thread guide me on replacing my angel eye bulb for passenger side? I got the part from BMW - apparently on the 2006 model, one bulb lights up both rings...i can't locate the damn thing.

i took the headlamp assembly's back plate (black pastic cover) off today, but took out what turned out to be the xenon adjustor, am i on the right track? Can anyone walk me through this with some instruction?

Thanks!
