Hello,
Is anybody know if the 2008 LCI angel eye light source is compatible to pre 2008 E60 ? The 2008 are much more white collor brighter compare to the yellow on pre 2008.
I try to upgrade with Umnitza Predator ICE V2 but it's not as good as the 2008.
Thanks

They are not compatible. If you want the LCI look (and lights) you will have to retrofit.

The Post-08 models use an H8 bulb for the angel eyes whereas the pre-08's use a specific fit angel eye unit that is completely different in design. The two are no interchangeable without swapping out the entire headlight assembly.
