I want to replace my current stock headlamp bulbs in my 2011 BMW 328i I just recently purchased, but I am unsure whether the car has Xenon or Halogen bulbs. If anyone can tell/ knows how to check please let me know by replying!

This is the bulbs I want to purchase as I want a bright white light to be displayed, rather than this dull yellow I currently have: https://luxangeleyes.com/products/lux-h8-189

If these will not fit my car / anyone has any recommendations to alternatives please reply too!

These are pictures of my car's headlights.

Thanks in advance!

You have xenon (HID) headlights. The link was taking too long to load, but I do know Lux is a popular brand for people looking for whiter/brighter angel eyes.

Correct if you are looking to replace the angel eye bulbs, not the actual driving headlight then our LUX H8 lights are a great choice. There is info for them in the Vendor section as well as a link in our signature for them.

I just installed the headlights and I absolutely love them! However, I noticed that whenever taking a picture of the lights, they seem to flicker on the camera - in real life, they look fine and constant. Is there any fix to this? Here is kind of what it looks like

Thanks.

Flickering lights is usually just caused by a mismatch in the frames per second of the camera being used and whatever the equivalent measurement is for the light signal being pumped to the angel eyes. As long as they look ok in person I wouldn't worry.

that is 100% correct actually. whats actually happening is the lights are turning off for just a split second ( most likely less then 1/60th a second) and that is when the camera sensor is capturing the image. In person your eyes do not see this so its nothing to worry about.

This is pretty common with all LED's now and you see it with many commercials, videos, etc.
