1 more thing, what 'K' is the OEM denon bulb? and if i change to 8000K bulbs which is brighter and 'bluer'?

tnx in advan

D1S is the correct bulb-type. And yes it is universal.

I believe the OEM xenons are 4350K or something close,
the 8000k bulbs: Are bluer .... Are NOT brighter (8000k have less lumens)

this might help (hopefully its accurate)

Is there just a bulb for the DRL's. or do I need to do something else? Ex. wires

E92-Lighting · 03-01-2009, 05:28 PM

DRL=h7 55W, just a halogen bulb

luckystrike · 05-01-2009, 05:17 PM

i just want to ask what size d i need for the glove compartment and footwell and under the door led lights for my 06 e90 they have the 30mm, 28mm, and the 44mm anyone please?

Rick4345 · 05-25-2009, 01:03 PM

I contacted my dealer and asked what kind of bulb to use to replace my fog lights. They told me that it was a 9006 bulb. WRONG!! They turned out to be the H8 type. No, they are not interchangeable. Plus, the H8 is only a 38 watt bulb and has a different base than the H11 or the 9006. Also, these bulbs are 55 watt bulbs. Kind of torqued me off, considering this one of BMW's top dealerships.

E92-Lighting · 05-25-2009, 01:49 PM

only for 09 e90 sedan, pre facelifted are all h11 except mtech front bumpers. h8 in 35watt too, not 38watt

Drakos · 05-25-2009, 06:46 PM

I have a 09' 335xi Sedan, so I assume my fog lights are H11? I have read some posts indicating that they are H8. What is a m-tech bumper and how do I tell?

Who's had a good experience with LEDs in the rings. My friend changed them out, but when the head lights turn on, they go back to orange again

E92-Lighting · 06-05-2009, 12:59 PM

ClutchNY · 08-27-2009, 05:05 PM

i just got my e90 and wanna change all the interior bulbs/step lights/ LIC plate lights to LED. wat does it mean to throw a code? like a check engine light or what? and what led bulbs will not?im not tryin to pay $79 just for lic plate lights either...they are $4 on superbrightleds.com

E92-Lighting · 09-07-2009, 12:53 PM

i dont think license plate leds cost $79

UdubBadger · 09-18-2009, 12:47 AM

ok god I've been looking for about 2 hrs.

How the hell do you change the halo's on the LCI halogens?

Somebody point me in the right direction. I have RD V1's but they came with them from the seller and they just aren't very bright during the day. Should I even bother looking for something new?

KrisV · 09-22-2009, 02:21 PM
