E92 2011 Angel Eye??

Hey guys, Ive been looking everywhere for the conversion kit to give you the same color/look of the new angel eyes that are like 6000k. Im not sure which product will give you that similar look. Is this oem conversion available or is there an aftermarket product that looks the same?

Thanks

^None of those angel eyes in that link are E92 2011 Angel Eyes

You cannot convert pre-2011 angel eyes to the 2011 LCI angel eyes. The headlight design is completely different.

But the 2011 and pre-2011 uses the same bulbs.. H8.

Is there a way we can use their bulbs in our headlights?

Ermm...no they don't. The 2011 E90 sedan (but I believe excluding the M3) does use a H8 bulb, yes. The pre-2011 E92/E93 also uses a H8 bulb. However, the headlights on the 2011+ E92/E93 were redesigned, so they don't use a H8 bulb. Ergo, you can't just transplant the bulb from the new headlights into the old.

According to Sylvania/Osram, the 2011 E92 uses the H8 bulb.

According to that guide, the e92 LCI uses a 921 type reverse bulb (it doesn't), and the e90 LCI uses a h3 and some obscure bulb (it uses a 921). The guide is ok, but its hardly close to perfect. All of the bulbs listed for my moms car interior were the incorrect type. So it's more of a guideline, but not perfect. I know the e92 LCI doesn't use a h8 bulb because the headlights have been redesigned.

the angel eye rings for the 2011 e92/e93 non-M uses it's own LED module.
the H8 is prob for the DRL.
the ring itself is now LED - pre 2011 e92/e93 uses a ring non-led and lit
up by an H8 bulb.
so the 2011 H8 bulb is not for the angel eyes - the angel eyes are
now truly lit by LED rings like an OSS.

a retrofit of the LED module to pre-2011 xenon headlamps is too expensive.
check out the link and price

look at this link - for LED module price.

2011 headlamps -
new design / different fit than pre-2011
why couldn't bmw have done this for the 2011 E90 LCI - bastards.



that's why i have LUX H8
