questions about 325i halogen to xenon

jackson29 · 10-02-2009, 08:35 AM

Hi everyone,

I have a 2006 325i with halogen on it. I want to retrofit it to xenon. After doing many hours of research online, I came up with a conclusion that getting the OEM xenon headlight units and try to do it myself. But I have some unanswered questions :

1, Is there any way to make the xenon adaptive on my 325i?
2, Where else can I find OEM US/original euro spec housings? (except ebay and tischer)
3, Will any error messages show up / any reprogramming needed?

Thanks!

How many posts do you think we can put up about halogen to xenon conversion in this section?? I'm setting the over/under at 700..

Yeah.. maybe the fuckers at BMW will see what clowns they are for not making xenon's standard on all BMW as a safety feature..lol
I love BMW's but come on man.. Nissan has been doing xenon as standard equipment on the maxima's for how long now? I'm seeing Xenon on Hyundai's even man..
Anyway, sorry I just had to vent cuz I'm in the same boat.

+1 xenons should be standard on all models

Part of the reason I went E92. I knew I couldn't afford a 335xi and didn't need to worry about finding Xenon's on a 328xi..

I would of went e92 as well but I have a 10 month old son, and could not deal with a coupe. But def. e92 is the way to go if you can....
