Changing the yellow halo ring bulbs to a 12v8w white bulbs
Hi all.
Noob question here. How can I tell if I have halogen or xenon headlights on my 2004 525i? Are there any physical traits or markings I should look for?
I bought the bulbs from pinguhk (thanks
, but haven't installed them yet. I tried once but couldn't fit my hand between the headlight compartment and the body frame under my hood.

So I guess the halo ring bulbs I got won't work.

The suppler has add 30% to the price so they are not worth to get now, better off trying to get the LED with error free message.
I have these fitted, and they actually fire a ring of light round, rather than the whole headlamp, please note LEDs are polarity sensitive, so just ensure you fit the correct way round
