2011 335d Halo Bulb Replacement

Greetings,

Seemingly simple question, and apologies in advance if covered elsewhere. Tried a search here and did not find.

Want to replace the halo (driving light) bulb on our 335d and Amazon results are all over the place.

Is there a best option for the replacement bulb for this?

Thanks much, JB

Standard h8 halogen. If you want to go LED, make sure to get a 4 sided or 6 sided LED. Just an FYI the outer rings will NEVER be the same as the inners

Make sure you get the right one...there are two options for the Halo depending if you have Halogen headlights or Xenon headlights.

Xenon take the H8
Halogen takes the more expensive harder to change bulbs

335d never came with halogens.

Looks like you already got answers. In the future, head light questions are best addressed over on Cosmetic/Lighting section.

I 2nd the endorsement of Lux upgrade for the halos. Light became whiter but outboard halos always dimmer. Its a dumb a$$ design.
