No, but most likely you will have the bulb out errors that constantly remind you that a bulb is out... Also, you might want to consider the heat that this light might put out. I have GP Thunders 35w and they look just fine. And can't complain about the cost either...

Yes if you have LCI w/ Bi-Xenon H8 bulb will work ...fitment wise ... the tricky part is the HID kit ballast will require at least a constant 12V to power it up and during the day the LCI AE run at less then 12V voltage and even less when the low beam on (notice the DRL gets dimmer when the main beam are on) ... so not only your iDrive will give out error of a strange load the HID may not fire up properly.

You'll need an LCI HID-AE kit that has regulator & error canceler in between your AE and that HID kit ... check w/ John@Motorcepts.
