Hi,
I recently bought an '07 BMW 525XI at the auction, its White on Auburn and it comes with the standard (non xenon) headlights.
I really want that amazing bmw xenon look and need advice on where to go or what to do to change my healights.
Please help!!

OEM would be straight from BMW and needs programming. Will cost a LOT!!! In the thousands
Aftermarket would be the GB I am offerring but trying to find the right headlights. Costs less.
No picture and not sure if it's a go.
Just replacement xenons would be HID xenons installed. Cost most efficient but no projector. This costs $180 installed!!!

Go with HID Xenons, they are cheap but have decent projection and endurance. brabusw209amg can hook you up!

I have retroffited several sets.Last set was to a member myfiveserie1818. I am currently going to be retrofitting another members to OEM xenons as soon as I recieve the headlights from him. If you are interested contact me. It is not that expensive (less than $1000) and doesn't require programming as mentioned above.
