E90 angel eyes

[smurph]

One of the original halogens (see attached jpeg) for the angel eyes is not working, and replacements are hard to find, and expensive ~£72.
Is there an LED kit I can buy for a pair? White or I might try blue.
I have searched eBay and all advertised replacements that say are compatible with my car, look nothing like my bulbs!?!
Is there a plug & play replacement?
I did come across a conversion instruction (http://www.instructables.com/file/F0PM9OCHVGXS4ET/) which none of the sellers discuss!?

NOTE: my car is UK 2009 BMW 3 SERIES E90 2.0 318d SE 4dr saloon.

Running these on my wife's car for almost a year now without an issue. https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-63117161444-Angel-Bulbs-White/dp/B008CSUTBM/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1467808646&sr=1-1&keywords=Dragon+ONE+Pair+E90%2C+E91%2C63117161444+ BMW+Angel+EYE+Halo+Ring+LED+Bulbs+7k+White

I'd suggest sticking with white. Got the blue set for my car (it's Montego Blue) and can't wait to switch them out. They're bright but just looks off.

Thanks, but they are same as what I see many of in eBay, but they are not a like for like replacement of the bulb that I showed in jpeg. Mine has large housing, and one plug for connections, these have no housing and twin pins! Do these need to follow the instructions (or similar) that I linked too?

Seems like the aftermarket uses adapter harnesses similar to the ones included in these... https://www.amazon.com/GENSSI-Elite-Headlights-Halogen-2009-2011/dp/B013FC4BR2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467819711&sr=8-1&keywords=e90+lci+angel+eyes

If you notice on the fitment, it's listed under E90 LCI with Halogen Headlights

With aftermarket LED's, fitment is a nonissue. But the start-up flickering drove me nuts.
Switched back to halogens because of that.

I also have the flickering of my angel eyes on start up. I only had it with the headlights set to the off position. Once I put the headlights in the auto position, the problem is gone. Hope this helps

I have a 2010 E92... Just changed my DRL's to blue and I love them.. No flickering on startup.
