Hey guys..
I did a lot of searching here, but I am still a bit confused on lighting. I have a 2008 528xi, so I figure I have the LCI halogens. I bought h8 gp thunder 35w 7500's to replace my AE lights. When I search here how to replace, it seems the light is different than the one in my car. The one in my car is straight and short, and the GP thunders are angled and the bulb is a lot longer. I had trouble getting it out, so I just gave up, but before I try again, are all h8 lights compatible? It looks like the pic below. Sorry JRV550i I stole your pic from your DIY. Thanks.
