Halo's?

I'm sure theres a thread out there some on this already... I have an 09 128i that does not have the halo headlights. What are my options for getting these installed on my car?

You will need to source OE replacement units. We are also testing an aftermarket version later this year.

Retrofit OEM units or wait for the Depo units to be released sometime this April.

There was someone on here recently who replaced his 135 headlights with the Euro version, do a search - the original parts may still be up for sale.

They'll fit but it throws errors since the Xenon harness is wired differently than the halogen harness. PM me and I can give you a link to a guy who does know where to get this special modified headlight.
