Does the Lci come with halogens at all ?

I'm looking to do a pre-Lci to Lci conversion, but I've only come across pics of lcis with xenons.

Just wanted to confirm that halogens are available on the Lci before embarking on the project

Thanks !

Halogens are standard feature on LCI models. Xenons are extra's.

I believe the x28 base comes with Halogens and the base x35 comes with Xenons

Yes. I can confirm as mine is with Halogens.
BTW could somebody please confirm that If I want to retrofit Xenons it is enough to buy a set of this:https://www.xenonled.eu/product/bmw-...on-headlights/
Is there anything else required?

Many thanks.

Without auto levelling your Xenons will likely be illegal. Furthermore, you car doesn't have the correct wiring for Xenons.

To give you a shorter answer, it's cheaper to swap cars than to retrofit Xenons.

Hi,

The reason I asked is that I'm considering to do a full retrofit with washers and auto leveling. I know it will not be cheap, however in my case I'll be still way less than changing the full car.

In case I'd skip the Xenons is there anything like this available for the LCI X3?

Crassus Nice X3! Are you satisfied with the new halogen bulbs, do you have a picture, how white are those?

Thanks!

retrofitting xenons can be done but you need experience shop to do coding and installing all of the components.

Thank you!
If i decide to go this route, do I need anything else other than the OEM headlamps and coding? Like special cables or anything else?


Many thanks!
