Hi All,
been a while since I posted - been busy moving house and getting ready for an imminent baby arrival
So - upgrades since fitting my M166's have been on hold.
Okay - down to business - anyone retrofitted Xenon Headlamps to Halogen equipped E60? I have been offered a pair of Xenon headlamps complete with ballasts and bulbs. My question is: Will they fit my 07 Msport (Non LCI). I have been told that the pair for sale are also Non LCI type.
If so - is it a straight swop - ie wiring etc etc.
Any advise welcomed.
Best Regards, Matt

Upgrading to xenon from halogen headlight is not straight forward. Xenon headlights required an extra ground and you will need coding to get rid of the error (xenon draw less current than halogen).
