I messed up and bought the wrong bulbs for my 07 530 sport. These GP Thunders H8 8500 and H3 8500 will fit lci (08-) but not pre-lci (04-07) e60's. Anyone want them? I gotta go buy the right kind. Im an idiot and learned the hard way once I got the oem bulb out and realized the sockets didnt line up. $20 for both sets!!!
