$850 xenons..

BellasBmw · 03-29-2006, 05:08 PM

Well i ordered xenon blubs, im gonna install em today. I love the angel eyes and would kill to have em, but im not sure on this situation since the car didnt come with them, and i wouldnt want any kind of electrical problems knowing how $$ it can be. Its a great opportunity, but you know what they say, if its not broke, dont try to fix it.

Post some DIY if you have success with swap.

You ordered Xenon HID's or do you mean those hyper whites? Honestly I don't think you'll have wiring/electrical problems.

Hopefully they aren't super bright and neon blue...good luck with them.

Thanks. I think they are white.. and they are legal. SO no annoying blue tint.

But i took them to a mechanic that has worked on my mom's bmw in the past.. the idiot didnt know how to install them. I think you just plug em in..and he wanted disemble something under the hood.. i was like ugh.... and the cost $80.

If you really want.. its easiest to get a generic HID kit for 300 bux and just install that.

It uses the same housing as you currently have and it just changes the low beam bulb.

Either way you need a dealer to set the computer to recongize that you have HIDs now instead of halogen.

As soon as possible I'll post some photos! The only thing that change from the xenon retrofitting kit is that I don't have headlight washer (here in Europe is mandatory) and don't have the light adjusting .
Sorry for mt english.
Bye :rocks:

I'm interested in this as well. My lowly 320i only has halogens and even if I wanted to get xenons from the start, they are not available in the cars sold in the Philippines

Are you serious, why are they not offered there?

The cars are specced up by BMW Philippines in a 3 ways only, Standard with no options (mechanical AC, cloth seats etc...) Executive (leather and a few more minor stuff) and Sport (17 inch wheels plus sport suspension, leather) all with no xenons.

Leave it as is, regrets always comes later if it doesn't work. Dont mess with a working system. have someone first as a ginea pig!
