H10 angel bulbs to H8

Currently my xenons run with H10 fitment but I want to upgrade them, mostly on the market are H8 but will the H8 fitment be the same as the H10? Cheers

These are the H10 pictured

Buy H11 bulbs. People use them instead of H8 bulbs. The only downside I have heard of is that they produce more heat.

Any reason to buy H11? I assume they are all interchangeable in terms of the fitment? Just some seem to look like a smaller oring or fitment

They are not 100% identical, but they should fit without problems.

You can also code the AE's to be brighter via the usual coding programs or BMWhat app.

A little off subject: I recently got my Lux V5's, I'm not disappointed; but they look no where near as advertised. On the Lux website you could pass them off as LEDs..

Now I'm thinking of replacing the headlights all together. (I think the orange corners take away from the one). Wan't some decent bixenons with Orions V4s.. just don't know of any good aftermarket choices. Have heard mixed reviews of Umnitza..

But I'm assuming the h8 won't fit as a replacement for h10s then? I was going to go with 40w h8 but if they don't fit my h10 headlight holes and securing point I won't

Hold on. Your car came with H10 bulbs from factory?

Weird. I didn't know that 1 Series had H10 bulbs. I've always thought that 07+ 1 Series had H8's.

You gotta search around, mate.
