Xenon headlights

[jahciple]

I was just wondering, my headlights are halogens but I want to swap them with the stock bixenon headlights. How hard is it to install? Is it just plug and play or not. Also is it easier if I just retrofit some projectors?

And where can I purchase the bixenons other than the dealer? How much are they going for at the dealer?

I know I should've gotten my car with bixenons, stupid me. I really needed a car, so I just picked this up quick.

Thank you guys.

search and you will find your answer.

install is simple, but i know someone who can do it if you dont want to.

you need headlights, harness, etc

[jahciple]

are you talking about installing the whole headlight assembly or just the projectors?

[SilverB7FL]

yea I was wondering this as well, does anyone know if the projectors can be retrofitted into our halogen housings? Since noone makes the whole housing for a reasonable price maybe buying just the projector would be cheaper.

I think they can be, but it will be cheaper and easier to just swap in the bi-xenon housings.

how much does the whole bixenon assembly cost and where to purchase them other than the dealer?

someone on AZ sold them a while back and im pretty sure he still does. His name is Jens and name on az is "lowestA4" you should contact him. i forgot the price tho it was like 800ish i believe

yeah right aroud 8ish i got my for 750. but i think he is backed up with orders. alot of people are doing them . you may want to check out ebay to see if they have set and just get the harness you need from www.oempl.us , they actually sell the adaptive head lights and the std bi xenons as well.. a bit more expensive but i think they are brand spanking new complete with harness too. ecstuning.com too..

i went on that website and they have two xenon headlights, one says b6 smoked xenon for $795 and the other b7 bi-xenon for $1295. i would go for the smoked one but it says it's for the b6, is this an error or does the b6 fit the b7s also?

[Robr10]

nah , b6 doesnt fit the b7. must be an error with the site. make sure bulb ballast and harness are included.

so who is this guy that you speak of? and should i just buy the whole headlight assembly or just the projectors?

jens is your man...i got my setup back in the day for 550 for everything on the bay, then just wiring...the install, thats another story.

[jahciple]

that's 550 for the whole headlight assembly right? cause i was thinking of just retrofitting these on my existing headlights: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-e...QQcmdZViewItem

^^That project will be a nightmare. You'd still need ballasts, bulbs, and way to connect them to the stock harness.

Then once you VAG-COM it for bi-xenon...you will no longer have high beams and your existing halogen high beams will became your DRLs.
