Hey guys,

I have a 2007 bmw 328i

Wondering if I could get some help here. I have seen and read many threads talking about this modification and most talk about adding leveling sensors and other components.

Am I able to just swap my halogens to the xenons without adding anything else??
and would it be worth it?

Its always worth it upgrading headlights. You may have to do wire splicing or make a harness and you'll need the FRM+coding from the xenon car.

You could wire up the self leveling system or you could just use the manual static leveling system from your halogens, also if they have the adaptive feature; wiring that up would be an even bigger pain.

If I were to just swap them without messing with the leveling stuff, is there a set position the lights would stay on? For instance I heard that they are automatically aiming down or something like that when off.
