Can be done, however, modifications are needed.

What kind of modifications? Im not that good at mechanics and dont want to buy the new pair if its to much work to get it fitted

I'm not too sure what mods are needed to fit those headlights into a pre-lci e60.
However, those Bi-Xenon Adaptive headlights cost a pretty penny. ~$1700 for a new set of those headlights, so you could just have them installed by a shop. The installation will be chump change after shelling out over $1500 for those headlights.

I think i'll try buying those lights, only used for 1 week and I get them for half price, im not a millionaire so buying a new set isn't a option..

Just from top of my head, given the electrics you have to think of change of cable connectors. You can check that by comparing the sockets, next potential reprogramming of the LM module for Bi-Xenon lights. Also, the VO needs to be coded to include Xenon option and self-levelling.

Also think about the legal implications. Some countries mandate to have a headlight washing system and self-levelling when having Xenon lights, otherwise it will not pass technical checks.

Hmm, Im having the car into my local workshop next week, will ask them about the headlight changing.
I actually have self-leveling on my current headlights, I dont know why

About headlight washing it itsn't a problem, I have all the parts to get that working

F*** non-xenon lamps

New update, I have ordered lenses so im gonna build lenses in to the headlights myself, this way i use around 200$ instead of around 900, my friend have done this in his Mitsubishi and he got it so good they dont see the difference on periodic controls
Also orderer all the equipment to build in self-leveling.
Will post pictures!
