Confusion Regarding Headlight Bulbs for the 2007 E92


Recommended Posts

2007 E92 335i
Could someone provide explanation about headlamp bulbs? I have now spent a considerable sum on H7 bulbs, as shown by realoem, in addition to other bulb sources. Visited to install the lights in the engine bay compartments, only to discover H8 bulbs. Acquired them and successfully installed them in the engine bay.
I requested a local mechanic to install the H8 bulbs and front spotlights, presumed to be H8, while new tires were being installed. I was told that the headlights are H7 HID and the spotlights are H11. Nothing seemed to align with expectations, leaving me perplexed. I am hesitant to make more purchases of erroneous bulbs. Could someone kindly provide guidance on which bulbs to acquire?
I apologise for my verbosity.

I have had the vehicle for 12 years and have never replaced any front lights, so I assumed they were conventional H7 bulbs; however, the mechanic advised me otherwise.
Had I had the space to do the task, I would have addressed it personally and been aware of its contents. Each time I attempt to purchase from Halfords, Euro Car Parts, or bulb specialists, it is always the H7 that frustrates me. How can something so simple be so intricate?
