Here's what youre looking at:

If you get the U.S. (amber) version: Anywhere from $500-$650 for the headlights, used, from another seller. Add $250-$300 for the "chip," and then install (since you're in SoCal, I'm sure some of the crew down there will do it for free). So you're looking at a minimum of $750, up to $900. Its worth it though, and I would do it if I were you. Looks aside, Xenon lighting really lights up the road. If you are interested in getting clear (euro) headlights, figure an additional $500-$800. I remember your situation, because when I first joined here, you were complaining about what happened, and the same thing happened to me. both our dealers told us we would have to wait months in order to get a 325i with Xenons. Well here's our chance. I'm doing this as soon as I can.

Good luck finding Us xenons for 500$ that are in good condition with bulbs& ballasts bud... U of all people should now this! There still going to sell for 1K dollars either way..Its just if u want the euros ur going to spend more..

Bella the conversion is completly possible ull just have to learn to live with the error before u turn your lights on..

Is this error annoying, i mean does it beep or always show the entire time the car is on?

supposively it's one chime and the light stays on for approx. 5 seconds.

I'm with you though. I want my car to behave exactly like stock with euro spec xenons. Soon as i figure out how this chip is installed i'll be all over euro xenons.

Damb man ur on the edge of your seat dude calm down bud theyll be there this week for sure!
As long as u understand the basics of wiring and stripping wire u should have no problem! Use butt splices to do your connections that way there secure!
use a proper splice tool to pinch them right and youll never have a problem!
