Hi guys

I have a set of Hoen Xenon match H8 bulbs laying at home.

Bought it in the US.

Will this work?

No, I bought 3 pairs, 1 for my GTi fogs

Sold 1 pair and needed to sell last pair

But since it will work on the 135i, I will keep it.

Well lets hope it works

The fog bulbs wont work, the connectors are different.

Damn, thanks for informing me :thumbs:

Now I need to find a buyer for the bulbs.

Actually they will work, if u bought an h8 set they will work fine, the Golf 6 gti takes the same bulb as the angel eye for the 1 series. Remember that plug pin outs and shapes differ by globe size so any h8 will have the same plug.
As long as its h8 it will fit, something else to check before fitting the blue globes, if its a normal halogen globe then check the wattage, an h8 should have a 35 w rating , higher wattage might cause a problem with heat on the headlight, wiring etc.

I agree , they will work.

I just installed cree leds h8 in my angels and cree h11 fogs on my 120d coupe!

H8 xenon bulbs dont work....I tried, they cut out even with the error cancel.

I have not tried another kit yet. Just bare in mind the xenon will have to be UV resistant so it doesnt turn your rings yellowish after a while.

I have heard the xenon kit does work however mine cut out.

BTW one thing to keep in mind is that the outer ring will always look dim compared to the inner because of poor corona design from BMW....

They are H8 35w, I just checked the Hoen website now.

I think the best thing for you to do is try it out. Only way you will know if it will work for sure. :thumbs:
