Aftermarket Headlights to replace OEM XENON headlights

Kopanski · 05-03-2018, 04:07 PM

Hey!

So I see a ton of these headlights on eBay, which look great, and I see a lot of people are really happy with them (http://r.ebay.com/gNLloh).

The question is, all of these headlights say they're only for Halogen upgrades. If I don't have Halogens, I have the OEM Xenon headlights, would these work? or would I have to find other headlights?

Anybody with experience on this?

Thanks!

These will only fit halogen models only. You'll need to find ones that says xenons only

Why would you want to upgrade Xenons? Surely they are better. The light is better then the LED lights to my understanding.

The tabs on one of my headlights are broken, and I like the new "m3" style headlights.

I'm not finding any aftermarket designs that are plug and play for xenon headlights, unless they're OEM and a couple thousand dollars.

OEM will be over 3k I would think. I looked into it for my car to upgrade from Halogens.

Salvage may be your best option. Also a change in light will probably need some coding.

Good luck - I guess your car is out of warranty to have that light replaced?

I wish I had my Xenon lights from my 2014 best lights I ever had

Yep, I have a '12 E93 with adaptive xenons and a '15 F31 that came with halogens.... go figure. Just put Depo's in but they're no match for the Xenons
