Coupecar19 · 11-25-2011, 06:03 PM

How do you know if you 335i has xenon lights. I'm looking at an 08 and don't know if it has xenon lights.

RnmEvo9 · 11-25-2011, 06:05 PM

When you are older than 19, you'll know lol.

JDLM · 11-25-2011, 06:06 PM

Have the dealer run the Vin or learn what Xenon lights are

justinnum1 · 11-25-2011, 06:19 PM

standard on 335i..look bluish white instead of dull yellow from halogen

mashimarho · 11-25-2011, 06:35 PM

In the dark.... When you have your headlights turned on... They go aim down then go back up.
Or... if you have light headlights that are projectors. Google projector headlights.

If it's a sedan, it will have angel eyes. If it doesn't have angel eyes, it's halogen.

Just because they are yellow doesn't mean they aren't xenon's.

Skydive2011 · 11-25-2011, 10:04 PM

look on the headlight housing, they should say xenon on them

edirtaynine · 11-25-2011, 11:05 PM

this has got to be the second most popular question besides "what does the snowflake symbol on my dash mean?"

NiVeDh · 11-26-2011, 01:11 AM

Xenons are standard on the 335i.

idrift4wd · 11-26-2011, 01:22 AM

standard on all 335i and 330. 328 & 325 have it as an option. standard on all coupes.
