Thanks for the detailed writeup. I just installed a 9006 HID 4300K conversion from HighPerformanceBulbs.com on my 2010 e90 msport today. Taking my time in the afternoon heat, I was able to finish in just over an hour.
Thx again!

Bulbs are still working. I use them pretty much whenever it's dark. I'm on the road to work just after 5, so I definitely use them every morning.

THanks for this. I was able to simply remove the two screws from the wheel well, and work my hand in. The MTEC 4350K bulbs match very well with the new LUX 5000K AE.

A little new at this, so don't flame me.
So these should work for a 2011 335i Coupe, right?

I will check into it. I assume the conversion kit is needed and attaches somehow to the exterior of the fixture. Thx again!

Thanks. I did the same thing to change the fog light bulbs. I only removed the two screws from the wheel well, pull back the plastic liner and work my hand in to change the bulbs. I do have small hands though and that helps!

I didn't include a pic of the bulbs in the DIY, but below is just a generic shot of an H8 bulb I grabbed off the web. This is what you should be swapping out. Pull the wiring harness off old bulbs, twist counter-clockwise, then pull out. Reverse the steps to replace with the new bulbs.

The wiring harness should fit snug, but shouldn't be extremely difficult to remove. Are you depressing the plastic keepers on the sides while you pull down? If not, it will be extremely difficult remove the harness...
