Found this item on ebay and wanted to know if somebody in here have tried this already. I am pretty sure that this will produce an error within idrive since it is a LED. I asked the seller, but even them has no idea if this will cause any error. Any thoughts...
Here's the link...

hmm interesting errors are easy to get rid of with the use of some resistors my concern would be whether or not your highbeam function would still work properly?

The H8 bulb for the angel eyes is separate from the high beams so it won't make a difference. Remember, you have bixenons so the low beams are used for the high beams as well. The inner beams are used as DRLs but should not be effected by the angel eye bulb replacement.

Thanks for the input, Nick.

I did not know that... Good to know that the low beams are also being used for the high beams. In that case, you are absolutely right, this buld will just upgrade the factory DRLs to a much brighter one and will not affect high beam.
Thanks for the input, Nick.
Thanks for the input, Nick.
if u have bixenons ur high beams are BOTH the outer AND inner lamp. When u pull the control stick (flashing ppl high beams), the inner one goes on. When u push the control stick forward (making the high beams stay on without pulling), only the outer one goes on. It's actually the angle of the projector shining up.
