Installing xenons LCI e91

Hello, sorry in advance I am SUPER SUPER new to owning a BMW and to doing stuff with cars in general. My 328i e91 has halogen headlights, I wanted to install the lux angel eyes but I don't think thats possible with my current setup, is there any way to get xenons into my car?

1. Lux makes angel eyes for the halogen lights
2. Yes u can do the swap the Xenon but it requires coding and wire work, not a simple plug and play

Oh okay cool, do you happen to know if there are any guides out there for the coding/wiring? I googled around for videos but I really wasnt sure what I was looking for or if it being a guide for pre lci mattered

Get to know your BMW and then deal with the lights.

Yes. All E9x headlights are capable of a xenon upgrade.. and if you're nervous about working on your BMW for the first time this is a great repair to get your feet wet. I use these guys a lot and they happen to have a great article on E9x xenon bulb replacements:

https://bmwrepairguide.com/bmw-e90-x...b-replacement/

Even though it says E90 it applies to all E9x models..

Hope this helps

^^^ ?

If OP doesn’t have xenons to begin with, I’m not sure a guide on D1S bulb replacement will help.

OP: Installing xenon (HID) headlights involves replacing the entire headlight assembly, plus a few electrical components. Plus coding. If you have a bunch of cash to burn on that then go for it, but it’s not a simple bulb swap, and it’s far from cheap.
