i am new to the forum and from what i had read from other post, i think i have the LCI non xenon headlights. but how come it doesnt use H8 angel eyes?. and the led angel eyes kit that i had gotten to replace the stock yellow, would not fit properly. the aluminium piece is too thick to set and snap into place. is there something that i missed or do i need to do something to make it fit properly?
ps. its a 08 528i
please help!!!!!!

only Xenon LCI headlights use H8 bulbs for the halo's/angel eyes

This is what you can do to make them fit (assuming that you have bought the same type of LED):

...However, if you continue to read the thread you will notice that I'm having problems with the leds at the moment, but it probably has something to do with the pre-lci to lci conversion. The wiring for your LCI headlights will be original, so I hope you won't have any problems.

I havn't figured out what is causing the problem yet, but I would like to do what I can with these before spending money on other brands. I'll let you know how I get on.
