E92 pre lci vs lci angel eye

Trying to order new angel eyes bulbs for my car but everything is for 07-10 and I have a 2013. What's the difference between the bulb I thought they was all the same on e9x. I thought they all use h8 size. Thanks

2011+ Non M LCI E92 have LED Angel Eyes from the Factory.

If you have halogen (brown) angel eyes then you have H8 which would be the same for all 07-10.

If your car has Factory White LED Angel Eyes then you can't change them.

Factory LED Angel Eyes (Cannot be changed)


Factory Halogen Angel Eyes (Can be changed)

If you have the Factory LED Angel Eyes they are not H8 and therefore can't be replaced with H8 Bulbs or any aftermarket angel eye option.

Likely a better question for the dealer, I'm not sure. They rarely fail though. Depending on what is actually broken it may be replaceable or may require a new headlight- all depends.

You would replace the specific module on the headlight if the angel eyes went out/module failed

IMO the E92 LCI angel eyes are far brighter (and better looking) than upgraded pre lci ones
