I received the bulbs and Ill be damned they don't fit.... The bulb is WAY too big for the housing that the original AE bulb came out of. Am i missing something here???????

Yes, you are missing alot of details here. What year is your car, pre-lci or LCI? What bulb is it, H8? You may want to call or contact them privately first before going public.

and are the headlights xenon or halogen headlights?

superman832

It is a 2008 LCI with xenon.... very much stated in the order as well as a PM conversation with the company. the invoice said e39 bulbs and I contacted them to be sure that LCI e60 bulbs would be sent. I was told that they are the same!

so no... I am not exactly calling them out, just wanted to know in anyone had a clue that I may be overlooking! Thanks tho!

superman832, the e39 foglights for latter years were H8. If the package says H8 bulbs I think you are Okay--should be direct fit for LCI angel eyes. I understand, it can be confusing when the invoice label shows e39.

superman832

yes, thats why I inquired about it as soon as I saw the invoice... there is no indication of H8 anywhere on the box. it si the lite ice bulbs... Looking at the bulb that I removed, it appears the mounting area where the 3 tabs are located are the size of a nickle. Where as the bulbs I received from Umnitza the mounting are a little larger than a quarter...

From various bulbs I have seen the base can be bit different. As long the tabs align and the rubber seal makes a tight fit without being loose should be good. Install them and let see how it goes since Umnitza have reassured it is the correct one. Is the bulb a whiter color?

Also, if anybody have the halogen LCI, it uses different angel eye bulb than xenon headlights.

No they will not fit in any way shape or form... the tabs on the new bulbs are much larger diameter than the OEM bulbs...
