I share the general frustration here. I’d prefer to PRE-Purchase the bulbs intended for changing (front end); but, because there are so many varied (opinions) on what bulb is in what location.
01/2007 E92 bi-Xenons, fogs, CRAPPY AEs

Bentley shows certain bulb (pg. 630-17) as High Beam (H7 55w), when I believe that the space indicated is actually the Cornering Light .... but is it still H7 for MY application ? RealOEM COMPLETELY contradicts Bentley, too. The Table from OP is Awesome, but that makes THREE different bulb specs ( for certain spots). I don’t even bother with looking for FACTS at the stealership. Sylviania site, and SuperBrightLEDs also with erroneous vehicle-SPECIFIC application.

Another example, I’m almost Certain that my Bumper is non-M tec, but my Fogs don’t look like many pics that I’ve seen for “plain” Bumper.

I’m trying to get very similar color temp (kelvin) for AEs, Cornering, bi-Xenons, and Fogs. Aiming for 4500-5000k. Yet, I’m still left scratching my head on which bulbs I ACTUALLY have (so that I can pre-purchase) ... :~[

I absolutely will NOT use HID bulbs in non-HID housings, which will likely compound my goal of (matched) kelvins. I’ll have halogens (which get HOT), HID, and possibly LEDs (if I can find a decent sub $100 AE option).

Anyway, that’s my rant ..... Sorry
