Help me understand Xenon conversion
OK guys, I need some help here. I bought an '09 328i which came with the wonderful factory halogen headlights. I would really like to upgrade to xenon headlights. I tried a cheap conversion using a bulb and ballast, but got the error message on the dash. I expect they don't pull the correct voltage or power and the computer sees a problem. There is also a problem with where to place the ballasts so they are tidy and held securely.
I have looked at a number of posts here and there are numerous things that I don't understand, pre-lci, conversion, adaptive, etc.
I was hoping there was an easy conversion, but I see things about flickering/flashing lights, error codes, etc.
What is the best way to do this with the cleanest look? Naturally, it would be nice to have it at a reasonable price as well.
I was looking for a set from a car being parted out, but I don't know if they will work without modifications, are if they are PNP.
Any thought/comments are welcomed.
