Anyone Seen Xenon to LED Retrofit Headlights
Pretty straightforward, has anyone ever done an LED headlight for the 1 series? No I don't mean LED angel eyes or eyebrows. I mean an LED output like they have on modern cars. The one thing I'm jealous of from modern cars.
I need to replace both headlights on my 2010 (age not damage) and would definitely be seeking the most possible light on the road for nighttime driving. I reached out to O.S.S to see if they've ever done anything like this, but has anyone ever seen it done before on this platform? |

I personally don't see the point in 'upgrading' xenon to LED. It's arguably a side-grade if anything. Especially with the amount of effort required. I would first try a brighter xenon bulb replacement.
If you are dead set on LED, I would imagine it would be easier to buy Halogen housings and throw in the LED's made to replace halogen into those. I'm unsure what the coding implications of that would be... |

i fitted some D1S LED bulbs into the xenon fitting, plug and play.
major difference. They were quite inexpensive. Fitted 8th dec 2023, and so far just as they were day 1.
