E90 Adaptive Bi-Xenon to LED Upgrade

SanDiego640 · 10-15-2019, 12:58 AM

Long time 2006 E90 owner here, needing some advice.

I want to upgrade my stock Bi-Xenon Adaptive headlights to LED while maintaining the "adaptive" (lights move with the steering angle) quality of the system. I see plenty of after market lights available but it is unclear which will not require sacrificing the "adaptive" system.

I would rather upgrade the system to LED than just have the clear plastic covers restored.

Thanks!

And what is you goal? Bi-xenon generally have higher light output (talking about a retrofit)...

OP wants to downgrade his lighting?

To be fair the Morimoto MLED has good reviews. Distance and light output width is just about matches factory HID...maybe.

No idea about their longevity though. Or how they fit into your headlight housing...
