Finally got round to fitting my bi xenon in place of my lci halogens took a while to read up on what was involved and look for all parts, was quite a big job done over a few weekends, so thanks to everyone I asked for advice,
Surprising the difference it's made to the front of the car
need to change the bulbs soon as angels are yellow and xenons are too blue for my liking

Here's some pics

Looks good! Thinking of getting this done myself. Have you got a full part list by any chance? That would be extremely useful.

Pretty much everything you need and how to do it can be found here

Nice upgrade but won't this fail MOT for not having washers?

[chriz1]

I'm still wondering whether to fit them but I got 10 months to decide, but I did email vosa and they didn't really give me a straight answer but something Along the lines of if there fitted they must work, then they said that if the bulbs are under 2000lumens then auto levellers and washers aren't required but go on to say that majority of mot testers have no way to test what lumens the bulbs out etc...

I would love to do this but the cost is just so high...

[chriz1]

Yes Cost me about £500

Washers only need to work where fitted. If not fitted, they can't be tested.

Good job on the retrofit. Those projectors make the front end so much better looking than the crappy halogen reflector units

That's relatively cheap considering LCI halogens go for around £250-£300. I'm guessing you sourced all the parts from places like Ebay etc.?

Surely thats not including the lights themselves?
If so i would be very interested at that price but looking on ebay just the lights on there own without wiring etc are way over £500, i suppose you did get some money back on the lci halogens though.
Mine being a pre lci are worth peanuts really.

Its the one thing my cars missing, looks smart though mate

Yes I managed to get a set off my friends 11 plate e90 that got rear ended for £400 and sensors only Thing then was frm3 and wiring harness had the software to code already. Lci Halogens are for sale in classifieds here
