You may ask the dealer about this.

Note that the picture, chip, it is original halgen one and for the xenon chip, it looks exactly same as this.

I think this computer chip cost $$$. I bought the xenon headlight for $1,700. Some of you bought it for $1,200 and I think it will cost like $300 or something?
u got a deal for 1700$ that the states cant come close to thats why i went overseas as well..But u got the lights and the box for 1700$ where the cheapest the states are right know is 1800 NO box!

ADHD. Regarding of housing, there are so many complicated parts and I can't describe even though I did it. Just try to unscrew all the volts and think how to take them out. Need big patient on this.

I have mad ADD and cant stand that there here and not in my car and ill can do is think how to fix it so ive got it on a table in my garage on plastic and Ive been taking breaks here and theere brainstorming on how to do it but no luck so far! I really appreciate your help and letting me know im not the only one that got the lights that way!

You should give this work to the dealer and they can help you. The thing that you hate is to pay labor fee right? I think it worths because if you break something there, it won't work at all and you need to buy the parts again.

Just give them work and your concern will be gone. It is still warranty and should be free. Check it!

i got them for 1000 at bavarian auto recycling, the are brand new, not a scratch! i love them, i feel like everyone stares at my car now

My E90 has Euro-spec Halogen...and I want a Xenon so bad (without the high price from our local dealer of course)....

I am wondering what kind of error message did vette96s get? Will the car detect there is a difference of 35W and 55W?

shipping only took like 3 to 4 days, it was $30 or so

I did the exact same thing as vette said, and followed the instruction that evo_s4 gave us to remove the front bumper (he was missing a couple of screws in his instructions).

for those of you who are still looking I would call bavarian auto recycling, they get xenons every week or so.

THEY LOOK SO AMAZING!!!
