It looks as if the MYCARR LED kit is for the earlier (pre-2008) models, pre headlight redesign. I don't think it would work for me ('08 E82) it would for others.

I would caution anyone looking into this to be sure which kit/ bulb/ led/ CCFL ring is compatible with their particular BMW series based on both model & year – Check your manual or take the lamp out of your headlight housing and have a look.

From my research -

If you have a pre '08 with a lamp that looks like :-

Attachment 7872

most of the LED replacement kits are compatable such as

Attachment 7875 ICE

Attachment 7873 iBright

Attachment 7874 EAS

are for you (lower quality stuff in my opinion not shown)



If you have a '08 (H8 Lamp) that looks like :-

Attachment 7876

you've really got to stick with the halogen replacements such as

Attachment 7878 thunders


Attachment 7877 H8 Angels

or equivalents.

General testing from folks with the H8 LED replacements has not been good – I am of the opinion that you simply cannot stuff 35W worth of LED power into a small H8 housing.

Hope this helps everyone – Now back to work for me ;-)
