Hey Uzzle,

my interface can control HID or Halogen, no problem for both...
i've also meet some troubles to fit h8 bulb in socket but if you adjust bulb, it will fit...

for my interface you must :

extract actual h8 bulb
connect to female h8 wich is given light information
connect to +12v
use the power outler of interface to connect an hid conversion kit or halogen bulb
fit the new bulb...

and enjoy the white AE...

i've never seen headlight with halogen but i suppose that's the same....

hope that it's more clear,

do not hesitate to reach me again...
Good job! Keep us posted with your results when beta testing is completed. I'm also working on an HID Angel Eyes upgrade! WooHooo!!!

^ For your bulbs to fit, Did you have Xenons stocks? Maybe I should try installing my bulbs again.

Thanks for the replies amaury65a. Like i see in the first picture, it seems to be very bright,
although i can't really judge, just looking at that picture.
So keep us in touch with better pictures if possible .

Greetings

Uzzle, we both have 2008 528i's, I do have Xenon stocks on my vehicle.
However the Angle Eyes are regular H8 type bulbs. I had no issues with fitment from these bulbs.
It took less then a minute to install, remove a cap, twist current H8 bulb, pull apart from plug and insert new H8. The bulbs are less then $20 for both.
PM me if you have questions, I can take pictures of the install if you like, in case your headlight housing is different. I am new to BMW so I dont know if they have different housings etc...
