I think you may have caught pics of a couple of UFO's hovering above the center and Passenger area of your car.

Yes they will.

I have a pair of GP Thunder 8500 ion on my X6 but for some reason it doesn't looks very white to me. You are welcome to come check out mine if you want to.

For LCI models:

Any new products or bulbs that you guys know about to brighten the OEM look and get rid of the yellow for a whiter output besides the ones mentioned earlier (ie GP thunder). I haven't looked in awhile, but last time I did AIB hasn't made a product yet.

It is just a single bulb swap out.

there are the LED racing dash (RD's). I've seen pics of e92's with them (they use an H8 bulb also). I believe eurodyne has a FS thread here...but have not seen an e60 with them. AiB's are still "working on it"....Trust me, I'm still looking around for a brighter solution than GP's, the HID kit was not a good option...had to wire into the ecu for power and the bulbs burned out pretty fast (per member jcool)

so if you have the active xenon headlights you need to get the H8 bulbs correct? and if you use GP Thunder 8500K H8 bulb will you have any error codes?

For e60 models 2008+/LCI
xenon headlights = H8 bulbs for angel eyes.


GP thunder H8 bulbs for angel eyes = NO error codes
