Help. Halogen to HIDs. Kit? And DIY?

Hey everyone I just 06 BMW 325i . Needed a car here at barksdale AFB and got a good deal.

My issue is I have halogen lights and want to convert them over to HIDs.
I am unsure what to buy. Should I get oem from bmw or a kit that everyone trust. I am looking for a good price that can get me away from halogen and bulbs and have some nice angel eyes that are nice and blue.. The 7Ks I am guessing?

Please let me know if there are any posts already on here that I can go to for a guide, thank you!

P.s. will I need to get oem or can I get a kit that when I turn on my BMW the lights blink. Like eyes... Lol

You can buy the depo headlight aftermarket and code your car
Or
Buy a fully converted OEM headlight to work with the halogen. Which is what I have. If u want blueish angel eye you'll need to replace it to led angel eye

Where did you get yours from? Even though it was converted, did you still code your car?

Bought them from Jay who also converted it. I still haven't coded my car yet. And it still works.

If I want angel eyes that turn when I drive will I need the OEM lights?
I'd rather have Something straight from BMW. Just worried its gonna coast 1,000+

Will I need to call the stealership to order one or is there a whole sale store online?

Not the angel eyes that turn. They are adaptive headlights, and it would cost a shitload to install aftermarket. Check out **********s.com for depo headlights. Might be your best bet.

BTW, im at BAFB too. Another local guy and myself are trying to get more E90/E92 guys around the local area for meet ups. Share ideas and check out each others cars. hit me up.
