AFAIK, no....Due to the fact that AE's are different bulbs in pre-LCI e60's.

But there some nice options out there that won't hurt your wallet too bad.

Hi all,
I just got the GP Thunder 8500k and they are less bright than stock, even though the color is amazing. Is this expected?
I installed a GP thunder on mine and yes they are not as bright when the engine is not running but it is bright and very white when the engine is running. I'm happy with mine.
