Hey guys I just recently bought an 07 e60 525i 6 speed manual sedan. Absolutely love the way it drives. Now I have a problem with the headlights. I have like 16 codes in the LM. The car came with halogen lights and they are not meant to be on the car due to the fact that I have headlight washers. Can anybody tell me which headlights should be in my car or where I can find out which ones I need. The picture shows the information from the light module. I’m not we’ll versed in bmw‘s yet but I would love to learn more, they are just phenomenal cars.

Put vin in decoder to find out

thanks for the quick answer, I did that yet there is no further information about lights for my vehicle. So back to square 1 is there a way I can find out through the scan tool, or due too the modules that are in my car?

What's your VIN. It usually states the lighting you have

Please use the decoder. I doubt Snap-on has the information you're looking for.

i figured it out, I called the dealer and with my vin they were sble to tell me that I unfortunately have the regular halogen packet. Now I’m gonna retrofit my car from pre lci halogen to lci xenon. The halogen lights that are currently in the car are horrible( I can’t see nothing at night)

thank you guys for the answers and support

You will need to surf around the site for this type of upgrade. It is not plug and play. Also, the Xenons are infamous for internal to the headlight wire insulation that breaks and flakes off and can short out -- they made it biodegradable or something and it doesn't hold up well. My point is choose what you buy carefully. It may be brand new units no longer have the crappy wire insulation.
