e90 LCI Angel Eye LED Bulb Connector

Hi, so I bought a bulb which suppoosedly is a halogen conversion kit from Amazon. I saw the LED modules used were the same as the Lux set and they warranteed 50k hours used so what could go wrong right?

I unplugged my old bulbs after - I was too lazy to do it before and also a bit busy before purchasing. Now that I got a day to have a look at my bulb, I've noticed that the connectors are different. So I feel a little stupid and want to make sure I am not missing a trick here.

My car is the BMW E90 2008 LCI (October model) with halogen headlights, one of my sidelights fused so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to upgrade. Here is a link to the LEDs I bought: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So that's the connector the bulb I bought has, is that for xenon e90s? This is the connector I have at the back of my preexisting e90 angel eye bulb:

So I know it won't fit just like that. Help?

I also found this, any good?

The Xenon headlight cars use an H8 bulb.

I realised what I needed is a h10w bulb, can't believe it took me so long to figure that one out.

Do you have a picture of the bulb that you removed from the car? is it this one: https://ibb.co/D9JwN6X ?

If so then you have Halogen headlights and need a special bulb for that one. We do offer a direct replacement for that if needed and we have a vendor in the UK you can buy from directly

Mate that is the exact bulb that came from my car - as in I took that picture! I actually ended up investing in LUMRO h10w bulbs, they worked pretty good for me. I was really tempted in investing in yours, but they'd cos a good fraction of the price I paid for the car and I'm sure the bulbs would last longer than the motor

If you are looking for a replacement bulb all together we offer our LUX E90 LCI Halogen V4 lights and here is the link for that: https://luxangeleyes.com/products/lu...lci-halogen-v4. Our lights use 2 pin connectors directly to the stock plug and there is an install guide on our site as well for these.
