It depends on the exact build date. Pull the bulb and look at the socket end of the bulb. It's really easy to pull it and check. That's your safest and best bet.

+1...and while you are ordering don't forget to get some bulbs for your side markers/blinkers as well

+1, and check your owners manual if you need help identifying where the tabs are, etc. IMO, the invisibulbs are worthless for your headlights with and without euro overlays. You either have the orange reflector or overlay hiding those bulbs. I say this after already replacing them. But def replace the side bulbs and rear if you're not u/g to LCI. Good luck man!

And order an extra set of bulbs, just in case they break during install or burn out over time. Bimmian orders can be slow, so you might as well do a "prepared order".

Best to take out your factory bulb to check.
