Basically you can't have an LED module below the rings shooting light directly into the ring, on a E60 xenon headlight. If you were able to relocate the xenon units, you could possibly rig something up. Thing is, it would be quite the hack job, and that is not a marketable concept. You'd have to make your own custom headlights with relocated ballast, etc.

I'm working on a project for updated E60 Xenon lights. If it works out, I'll post all the goods for DIYers when I'm done. I won't settle for shoddy quality so it'll either look excellent or I'll call it a failure. I know I'm a nobody but it might actually work out very well.

edit: Made a diagram to help illustrate my post
if you can figure out a bypass to add it to xenons i will be your first customer lol!

Did you end up doing the Adaptive Xenon -> Halogen swap, or figuring out if it was doable?

I have a 2008 550i and was looking for replacement headlamps as my lens have rock chips in them.

How do I know if they are xenon or halogen? are their suitable replacement headlights for us who already have LCI headlights?

God those AEs look so great on the E60. Can you take a few more photos? I'm living vicariously through these pictures (tfw factory xenons )

Wow, love the look of that. I wish I could get them here in the UK, but I can't seem to find them.
