I have the H8 angel eyes one went out what do i do?

vettegator005 · 10-20-2010, 11:41 AM

So i hit some nasty railroad tracks the other day and my passenger side angel eyes went out. So im thinking have the dealer fix it under warranty but will they have the H8 bulb? Or will they just throw the stock one in and my angel eyes not be the same color. Whats the best plan of attack here?

If you have aftermarket H8 bulbs in there now, the dealer will not replace them under warranty. I suggest replacing it with a matching aftermarket bulb or reinstalling the OE bulbs.

try to reinstall the stock H8 bulbs first, it could be a loose connection

either you have to buy a new aftermarket bulb or put the oem ones back in

And have them check it. Being BMW specialized is a plus. I'm sure you can find some in your area.

All you need to do is take the bulb out and send us a picture.

If you still have a typical halogen bulb in there, they are rather inexpensive to replace.

Take a picture and get us the number on the back of the bulb.

If they are halogen, you can purchase some basic halogens from www.highperformancebulbs.com

E90 or E92? One is slightly less of a bitch than the other, but not by much.
