Another angel eye question

I am looking to do the angel eye mod. I have an 09' 328i xDrive LCI. I previously purchased an H8 angel eye kit, this was the wrong kit for my car. So I am looking to get the right one. Do I just need the bulbs, or is there some other kit that works for my specific model? Thanks in advance

If the H8 bulbs weren't correct for the car then i assume you have halogen headlights and not xenon headlights on the car. There are a number of options out there, and a few from the vendors on this forum as well. LCI Halogen headlights use a specific bulb for the angel eyes that you cant find it a regular store.

We offer our LUX E90 LCI Halogen V2 lights which are very highly regarded from other members of the forum. I recommend taking a look in the vendor section and there is a link in my signature for our lights as well.

You will need one specific for E90 LCI Halogen. As you found out H8 kits won't fit as they only work with E90 LCI Xenon.

Take a look in the vendors section. Our most popular unit is the HPB 80W E90 LCI Angel Eyes.

H8 bulbs only fit and function for the E90 LCI with xenon headlights, H10W are for the E90 LCI with halogen headlights which is what you currently have
