Xenons

Whats the crack with putting genuine xenons on my E90. Can I just buy some second hand headlamps and fit them in place of my halogens, or are the ballasts separate.

I think you need to also have the headlamp washers to be road-legal - so you might be looking at a new front bumper too.

Get some LCI angel eyes, they are halogen and should mean a much easier fit.

Use the search. This has been covered probably more time than any other subject, but it's not as simple as a straight swap.
