My headlight bulb has gone, can I upgrade?

Hi

I have 2007 E90 I think the headlights are LCI? They are not the angel eye ones ( unfortunately ) and yesterday I have a headlight bulb go on me I was wondering how easy it is to replace the bulbs and/if you can upgrade them to the nice Xenon ones?

I have attached a photo of my headlights.




Thanks!

You could swap in a new halogen bulb or have them retrofitted with projectors.

Hey man thanks those projects look a little too advanced for me at the moment is there no simple swap for the normal halogens to xenons? How easy is it to change the bulb over?

Thanks
