i dont think so and its h7 for the low beam..... and most likely you will need a resistor because it puts out a different wattage..

[big mac]

can you do plug and play hid kits on the lows?

Like nitro said, H7 for the low beam if your car don't have hid already. You can just simply buy a capacitor off your local electronic store, fry's or radio shack, and it is cheap. My friend did it to his 330i few months ago, and it held up fine. Go search for e39/e46 hid on google, and there should be some write up on the installation of hid, and which capacitor to use.

did you ever think about changing your "ring" colors (i dont know exactly what BMW calls them. Halos? I dont know)? if you have, i have a number of differnt colors if you want to change them.
