hello everyone, I am a newbie here. I traded my 06 TL for a 04 530i. my car doesnt have the hid system. Doe anyone know if I can simply replace the headlights with factory HID complete headlights? what do I have to do for this conversion? has anyone done this? I did a search but no luck. please help!

Bavauto.com I believe sells conversion kits with OEM lights plus there TONS of aftermarket options to upgrade to HID. Lots of folks do it. Check sponsers

Bi-Xenon Euro Headlights with Clear Turnsignals 5-SeriesE60 04-up
Code: 631-181
Price: $2,980.00
Quantity in Basket: None
This is the best I can find. Finding parts for E60's is much harder than any 3 series or even the E39 5...

Here is the link

I have a set of OEM Bi-Xenon (D1S) Adaptive Headlights taken off my 2007 530i for sale: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=48156&hl=

They are in excellent condition; no broken tabs and virtually no spiderwebs or swirl marks on the plastic lens. I'm located in downtown Los Angeles and can make arrangements for local pickup.

Included:
  • 12V 55W H7 High-beam Bulb
  • 3157 Amber Turn Indicator Bulb
Not included:
  • BULB XENON LIGHT WITH IGNITION ELEMENT (D1S)
  • CONTROL UNIT XENON LIGHT

If I look around, I can prabaly find the parts cheaper. any idea how much it would be for the dealer to install everything since they are all oem parts? is it possible to do this mod? I heard its pretty expensive..
