What should I do with non-zenon headlight?
Hi, folks.
I bought a 2012 X3 w/ tech pkg, but I didn't put the xenon lights on it. Because I didn't know the xenon has angel eyes. I thought regular headlight has angel eyes. I thought the only diference between regular and xenon is brightness. Should I go to the dealer to install the xenon headlight? Is there any internet shop I can buy xenon headlights for mnie? Please help me. |

You can purchase Xenon lamps and power supplies the replace the stock halogen bulbs that will buy you the brightness and higher color temperature (blue color) as aftermarket replacements for around $150 or less per side. Of course that won't get you the LED "angel eye" daytime running lights or the legally required auto-leveling of the HID lights.
It is possible to order and install complete replacement Xenon assemblies, but the cost is around $600-$700 per side (plus labor). The part numbers (US only) for the non-adaptive assemblies are: 63117276995 (left) 63117276996 (right) For the adaptive (steering) assemblies, expect to pay a lot more. Also, please be aware that with the HID headlights, although there are (2) "angle eye" DRL rings per side, the inner headlight is a dummy. The low and high beams are both generated in the outer projector assembly. |
