Hi Rudy,

Would you please give me some information about installing the Xenon Headlight Retrofit for the E60?

Greatly appreciate it.

Rudy

Are we talking straight Xenons or Adaptive Xenons? If you plan to install adaptive Xenons, there's some programming/coding involved so unless you have a programmer, you'll need help from the dealer...

The instructions for the normal Xenons are pretty extensive. Stay tuned....

Thanks in advance, Rudy.

Okay, I found the basic instructions on how to remove/install the xenon lights. There is additional information on how to replace things like the "xenon ignition unit" and the "xenon control unit" but each of these components is mounted to the light assembly so I'm guessing that if you purchased a complete xenon assembly, you only need the instructions on how to pull the old lights and install the new ones. I can't say for sure if there are any other issues regarding the "retrofit" (i.e. different wiring connectors, etc.) I think the instructions simply illustrate how to remove and replace the parts, assuming you are removing and reinstalling similar things.

That said, here goes:

Whew! I hope that'll help. Be careful and don't break anything!! (After seeing this, I wouldn't blame you if you chose to pay the dealer whatever the charges are!)
