for LCI Halogen headlights I would recommend a 6000K 55W Slim kit from DDM.

Here you go:

DDM Tuning 35W and 55W HID Kits


Also...if you want extreme quality you may want to consider:

H7: Morimoto Elite HID System - HID Systems from The Retrofit Source Inc

This option is almost 3 times as expensive but it is definitely a better kit. However, the ddm comes pretty close.

Make sure you go with 55W/50W whichever way you go. Don't even bother looking at other kits. These two options are your best bet (I have both kits on my car). Note: You might need warning cancelers if you go with the ddm kit (they're cheap tho like 10-15 bucks).


Good Luck!

Great! Thanks for posting that!
How do the cancelers work? Is that something we do at the time of the install or does it require special equipment, or knowledge? Sorry im a newb at this stuff.

I also found these:

HID Retrofit Kit For E71 - BMW X6 and X6M SAV - 2008-2014 From bimmian.com

I have some store credit there and may go that route, does anyone have any experience with the xenoflo?

They just go in front of the hid kit between the 12V pwr from the car and the ballast. Plug and play.

These look like the same ballasts that I had initially tried on my car when I had halogen lights...very problematic. You can try these if you have enough credit to where you're only paying like 10 bucks for them. But if you're paying 30 or more I would just go get the ddm's.
