Simple answer is 'no' as they are not interchangeable, however if you're prepared to rewire, change the LCM and reprogrammne it then it should be possible.

Franlky I've never seen anyone who has done that swap.

ok so it is not possible...

i've to open at my risk the light and put the angels inside...

You can't open Z4 headlights. (Well I can't and I've modified a few sets with AE's)

a friend of mine has opened the lights with a dremel!
what does "AE" mean?

AE = Angel Eyes

OK - I've chopped up several sets with a dremmel and various cutters, but that's not opening. That way you need a sacrificial set of lights or I assume a rather dubious reseal of lens to rear as you'd cut flanges off.

Older BMW's like the X5 and some 3 series the lights were joined with thermal adhesive so 5 mins with a hot air gun and they were open.
