and yeh I was one of the brisbaners who swapped them for 21's

Thanks for your reply,
I open the cover where the manual said, and I couldn't find where to access the angel eye bulb, there's a bulb only for highbeam. can't find anything for the H8 bulb.
would you have any diagram or guide for how to change the angel eye bulb, as i have been searching the web and can't find anything about the angel eye.
Thanks...

If you take that cover off then the back of the Angel Eye bulb is the one that you can see it is not the high beam bulb.

Hi there, Thanks for your reply, I can't see anywhere to access the Angel Eye bulb...i tried to take off the cover, and turned on the angel eye, and i saw light coming out and the funny thing is that the bulb doesn't look like a H8 bulb...and i can't find anywhere to access it under the bonet, might need to go through via the wheel guard...

so does yours come with factory Xenon HID headlight?
because my E70 is a 3.0 excutive, and does not come with Xenon headlight, so would it be possible that I have a different size of bulb for the angel eye?
can anyone help me out please?

Thanks...
