Lightly modded E89 Z4

Picked her up last week, did the whole new car prep detail, but haven't had too much time to take pics until today when the weather's been nicer. Just some light mods (Debadge and GP Thunder H8 8500K bulbs for the Angel Eyes). Enjoy!

Looks really good. As asked above, are the bulbs hard to replace and do they look "LED white" or do they have a blue-ish tinge about them?

Edit: Just read the manual, and it seems you just need to unscrew a protective cap under in the engine compartment. I'm sure on the E90 you have to get at them from the wheel arches! I think the 7500K may look slightly less blue...

It's very easy to replace, as the manual shows. I actually just swapped them over from my E92, which was even more difficult because there's far less room to get the bulb out. You can't do this on the pre-LCI E90s, but I think from 08 and on, they use H8 bulbs as well but I could be wrong. There's a whole thread from E90Post dedicated to color/replacing/etc. from a while back - http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39270

Hope this helps!
