one night on the couch, but worth it

Wife just doesnt understand the meaning of modding, anyway I wanted and I got it. Paid a little under $945 with all the bulbs intact on ebay. Just got to find a babysitter and wait for the 6000K D1S bulbs to comes in. Here is a preview

I was looking into those. He said it comes with the ballast....would it be possible to change these from standard halogens to these?

Explorer3253: For full retrofit on halogen-equipped cars, you'd require far more hardware (quite extensive)....

I believe (and from what I read) the following is required for full retrofit (as oppossed to swaps)...

Xenon wiring harness
Rear level sensor wiring harness
ALC wiring harness
Connection cable
Right headlight
Left headlight
2 x level sensors
Rear control rod
Front control rod
Rear holder
Control rod holder
Front holder
4 x Allen screw M5 x 10
2 x Expanding nut M6
2 x Hexagonal screw M6 x 16mm
3 x Hexagonal nut M6
Collar nut M12 x 1.5
20 x Cable ties 200 x 3.6mm
2 x Warning stickers
2 x Miniature connectors

I think some other control modules...also will require programming at BMW ctr...

Yup those are expensive, so you gotta ask yourself is a little amber that bad. I can't afford to pay one grand for clears. But I wish I could. I'll take the cheap route and stick with my ambers.

Holy Crap! That's a great price! I didn't see that auction when I ordered mine. I paid 1799 at Roveractive...

Mine were new, though. The dealer had no problems putting them in.

By the way, does anyone know if auto insurance will cover these if we're in an accident? Since they are not DOT approved I wonder if we can insure them.
