Me and you the same 😆. My E90 has the same issue with the rear window. I have been procrastinating this issue for the same exact reason. I have this on my to do list.

Maybe that compatibility bridge is the easier solution.
It could be depending on your handy skills. The mirror upgrade start to finish took me just as long as the setting up the bridge

My right xenon has seemed to be a little less bright than I remember it being for the last month or so - finally looked at the light output with the full beams on.

Looks like it’s dying? Doesn’t look like it’s getting bright enough.

other than bad alignment, xenon fading out over time.

My audi are OEM from 2008, starting slowly getting the pink color, still strong enough, better than most halogen. Ill need to change them soon

Just ordered XENARC D1S replacements. It occurs to me that all 3 of my BMWs have needed xenon bulb replacement around the 10 year mark. I’m used to them getting pink before they die, guess this is the alternative failure mode?
