Swapping halogen headlights for xenon angel eyes?

[agustin.grillo]

Hey was wondering if i could buy any pair of headlights from any e82 to swap out my halogen lights for angel eyes? Will it just plug in a fit like the stock ones?

There are adaptive and non-adaptive xenons, you will likely need some coding to tell the car that it has the xenons now instead of the halogens. If you get a set of adaptive xenons, you will also need the sensors to make them "adapt" correctly. I would recommend non-adaptive for swapping from halogens, if you can find them.

Sweet okay! Where would i need to do the coding at BMW or is there a way to do it myself. I was thinking pf going non adaptive for that very reason. Are all the connections the same though? Is it a simple take out halogen and connect the new headlights?

I do not know if the electrical connectors are the same, you should do some image searches on google and look at drawings and part numbers from www.realoem.com
