Halogen bulb replacement

So I'm looking to replace my halogen bulbs since they look really dim. I've decided to get Philips X-treme Vision H7. Will i need to buy 2 sets for the low beams and high beams? Also will I need to change the bulb for the AE? I also should note i have a 2011 328xi.

for the E90 LCI with halogen headlights, its H7 for low beam, H7 for high beam, and H10W for the angel eyes, they are all separate bulbs, and yes, we highly recommend changing all bulbs to pure white so all output will be a smooth and elegant white color, not amber.

Fogs are H11 as most of the current generation of BMWs are. Probably could do LED for the H7s as well.

I put these in E70 X5 fogs. Then friend put them in E46 ZHP(9006 style). Was really happy with them. Output rivals the OEM Xenon. Nice and white as well. Shipped quick as well.

Interesting. Did they make a change somewhere in the build? Done H11 into one of them. Or maybe housings can be swapped/updated.
