NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

I swear that everyone who begins their quest in the halogen to xenon upgrade always posts these things up. These are cheap knock-offs; they are poorly made and probably will fail in a little under a year.

What you need is a set of OEM BMW Xenon headlights (they come in a few different flavors; such as US, EU, LCI). Conversion of the LCIs can be tricky. Easiest thing to do is get a set of US or EU Pre-LCI OEM BMW xenon headlights. Then all you will need is a set of DS1 bulbs and CANBUS ballasts.

A full setup, including ballasts and bulbs will run you about $1100. Search the forum, they are people on here who sell them. In fact there was a dude posting on here earlier, who was selling a pair of US BMW Xenon headlights for like $800. Of course you'd still need to buy the CANBUS ballasts and bulbs.

Another thing you could do just to get the Angel Eye look is buy OEM LCI halogens. They come with angel eyes and you can even upgrade the bulbs to whiter ones if you want.

True that would be the least expensive route to go and plus it's 100% plug-n-play. Personally, I'm just not feeling halogen headlights on a BMW. I mean even a Mazda 3 comes with xenons standard.

Don't do it, either go OEM or wait until Depo releases their P90s, its coming out in a month or so.

What are 'Depo P90s.' I'm on the HUNT for a xenon upgrade (from my absurdly stupid factory halogens) in my 07' 328. I know it's $$$, but well worth while. Just looking for some 'one-stop' solution; not to amass parts and install them once my collection is complete (plus I would likely not yet have the knowledge or equipment to install myself ). Any thoughts or updates on products is much appreciated. Thx!!!

You will need the following
A BMW OEM Xenon projector housing.. left and right
2 DS1 bulbs
For the blinkers and high beams you can use your old bulbs
2x Canbus Ballasts

OPTIONAL
Even with the Canbus ballast some BMWs will still show a light bulb out error; well mine didn't (lucky me). The lights will still work fine but you'll just have the annoying error poping up constantly. The fix for that is a pair of BMW error cancelors that you would hook up to the ballast.

Parts
The ballast, bulbs, and error cancelers can be easily found on the interent. Many places sell them. You can get the OEM housing through some of the members here.

Cost of setup
approx.. $1,100-$1,500

interested in the P90 also, any pics?

[thebunkbedrocks]

Im having the same issue on my car.

[thebunkbedrocks]

so the best solution is to get the OEM projectors, does it fit perfectly.

[thebunkbedrocks]

I got a pair replica, the projector on the passenger side blinks so much, there were error messages on the dashboard. it was really annoying.

I have a set of converted pre-LCI xenon lights for factory halogen cars. No coding, plug and play.

Check out the link for more details. PM me if interested.
