Hi All,
New guy here and wanted to say hello.
I bought our first 2008 BMW 528i with out doing the research and did not realize that everything is an option on these cars.
I am not sure how we managed to get one with NAV.
Ok anyways, I am looking to add xenon headlight and wanted to know if I can just add the internals such as the ballast and bulbs or do I need to replace the whole headlight?

welcome to the forums. Please feel free to send me an email to brabusw209amg(@)gmail(dot)com and click on my links for more info. I have converted countless e60s with halogens to xenon (HID aka high intensity discharge) for BOTH low beams and fog lights. Are you sure you have halogens for your current headlamps?

Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
to the brotherhood. Xenon may be nice and trendy, but they are very expensive. If you have relatively young eyes and don't really need the extra brightness, I find that BMW's standard projector style headlights do a fine job and the replacement bulb only costs about $20 vs. $300-400 ea. bulb for Xenon.
