My Ride: 2010 535 xi - M Sport Pkg & other goodies
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
So I've been toying with doing this to our wagon (posted HERE when in retrospect, was better in this forum), and was wondering a few things. If anyone can pop over to my post and let me know what you think, that'd be great.
A technical question or two:
Our 2010 535XI wagon has HID lights for the high beams too, right? They're called bixenons?
Is my idea of tapping into the high beam light wire to get a signal (I would think it's better to use a relay to power up the LED aux. lights, rather than tap it for the power, no?) a good one? Easy to do?
I've seen quite a few threads here about people upgrading their lights, so figured you'd know!![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
Thanks!
