HI bmw experts lol i am new to the car world so i apologise if this question sounds silly.

I have purchased a bmw 318d m sport and i wish to upgrade to angel eyes as mine does not come as standard, i was curious what bulb do i need for my main beam and also are the rings on the angel eye automatically ready to go or do i have to by some sort of bulb for that too.

Garage List
your e90 im guessing? I know the e92 is as follows

angle - h8
fog - h8
main - d1s
sidelight - h3

think the fog light for m sport may differ.

You implied that you could only have angel eyes with Xenons.

I don't have Xenons but I have angel eyes.
"Halogen headlights with twin side-light corona rings"
To quote the BMW spec exactly.

Not helping the OP much though are we

What year is the 318?
You can clearly see the Corona rings (angel eyes).
They are clear plastic rings around each projector lens and quite obvious. Do a google image search for BMW Corona Rings.
Do you have these?
