BMW headlight replacement

Hey guys,

I have 2006 323i and my car's headlights come without the angel eyes, it come with the regular yellow halogens. I am planning to purchase some repo headlights online, and I'm just wondering if they gonna fit my car perfectly (like plug and play). For example those ones.

Thank you

Aftermarket headlights are usually not very high quality. But yes they are usually are plug and play unless they have hid's. if they have hid's you just need coding for them to work. Some canbus ballasts might work without coding.

If you want to spend the money and do it right you should looking to retrofitting lci xenons. It is far from simple though.

If you don't think that's something you can DIY then I'd recommend getting a set of lci halogens and sending them off to lightwerkz, OSS, or oneighty. They can install projectors, angel eyes, and paint them. Everything would be plug and play.

So if headlights are Hid it should be mentioned?
Yeah i know it would be much more better, but im too lazy to do all of that

Asked the product owner, and he mentioned that it is not gonna fit the car with stock HID(xenon) headlights, so if you have halogen heaflights, your good to use them

I got aftermarkets, im opening them and making brighter rings but if you buy some get CCFL rings and these headlighs only work with stock halogen, you can do HID aftermarket when you install these(very easy install)
