What do you mean by that?

Are you saying that 335i owners who already have HIDs only need the H8 bulb and that 328i halogen owners need LEDs and cannot use the H8?

Are H8s suitable substitutes for LEDs? Are they dimmer/brighter? These are the confusing things about AEs.

Could anyone post a pic of where the LCI E90 lights are located under the hood?

My lights are coming soon and I couldn't find anything in the DIY section regarding LCI AEs.

the LCI Xenons's are designed Completely different inside the the E92 headlights. the setup of the Angel eyes is also SOOOO different. I dont think that the RD angel eyes will work well inside them. the outer ring of is set up differently.

09 328i sedan has xenon headlights, so you have h8 angel eyes

only the 09 323i sedan that has halogen headlights uses led angel eyes

no one makes anything for the halogen LCI. I've been down this road since I got the car. check out my post and the long discussions in it.
