was thinking of getting a HID kit for the low beams in my E60 which has reflector lights.
i wonder about a thing or two, maybe someone here has done this before and they know.
do i 100% need to get bulb holders for the H7 bulbs that come with the kit or is it possible to use factory ones?
the car is made 09/2005, i assume i need a digital/canbus hid kit or i will get errors right?

I sell HID kits that's made specifically for BMWs. I am running a promotion for $140 shipped in the US. International shipping is slightly more. I also posted a DIY on the forums and u can use your factory ones.

Cut it to allow the bulb to slide into place.
