H8 are for the coupe fogs and E90 LCI bumpers.

If you have the Mtech bumper it's 9006. Regular pre-LCI bumper is H11

You can do the WeissLicht LED upgrades for the angel eyes, we have them in a few different colors for the halogen cars.

Won't the led for angel eyes with its white colour and halogen H7 for low and high beam with not so white colour look odd? My suggestion for the H7 would be osram night breaker for the low beam and osram 65W Hyper for the high beam, if the light output is what you want. They will probably give you the best light out put on the road using halogen bulbs. I'd leave the angel eyes bulb as they are.

Trooper post up pics and results when you swap out the angel eye bulbs. I'm on the fence about upgrading mine since theyre fairly new and it doesnt seem the bulbs are a easy plug n play yet. BTW I installed mine last night along with a new M tech kit and my wife liked the new lights better.

I would upgrade the low and high beams with hyperwhite bulbs like the Xenesis to match. You can also do the fogs with the same bulbs.

We dropped the RD brand because the LEDs continually failed and the angle of the LEDs did not provide a full output on both sets of rings. The inner ring was very bright but the outer ring was dull. The color was also an aqua blue rather than a pure white. Here is a comparison between the WeissLicht on the left and RD's on the right on an M6 to give you an idea.
