Ok im trying to make the angel eyes on my 08 M5 the whitish blue color. I have done a ton of reading and can't find exactly what I need for my 08. On ebay there are some bulbs that say they are for an 08 but I thought in 08 the angel eyes used an H8 bulb? Also is there only one bulb to light up both rings in each light or is there a smaller bulb that I need to replace for the littler rings closest to the grill? I have put leds in all my other cars and it hasn't been a problem but I just can't figure out which bulbs I need for my 08. Any help would be great!! Thanks

I tried the super expensive LED bulbs ($200), but they were INVISIBLE during the day, and barely lit up the outside ring, even in the shade. I just got the GP Thunder 8500k bulbs for $12 / pair (www.gp-thunder.com). Totally worth it, MUCH brighter than LED in the daytime. Don't waste your money.
Here's a pic. I also replaced my fogs with GP Thunders. Some said they're also H8's, but on mine (m-sport) they were 9006's. So pull the ones on there and look before ordering if you wanna go this route.

Nope no error codes, it's just a whiter color of the exact same bulb. I'll try to get you a pic in the daytime as soon as I can.

Where did you buy the GP Thunder 8500k? as gp-thunder.com don't sell anything on their site..
