Damn this sucks. So are these EU sockets available or ordering through Tischer or any local BMW dealers?? Do JLevi SW has them in stock!?!?

You can order these from a few different places, but that's not the point. I ordered these euro-spec lights as my lights are not euro-spec and I wanted the look. I don't think I am making a big assumption that anyone with actual euro-spec lights would not order these and that these lights primary market are to people without e-spec lights. For some reason I thought I'd be getting a complete kit, but I am wrong. I spent my personal limited time off jacking up my car, removing the tires, removing the wheelwell covers, the front bumper cover, pulling fuses and my driver side headlights only to discover that as a matter of fact, the kit is not complete. Then I had to put everything back together with the stock headlights. I consider that injury. Seeing now that I am on my own to get the part needed to complete the kit, I just find that insulting.

You're not 'on your own.' Jlevi customers rarely if ever are. We already have a call in to DEPO for bulb sockets. As soon as we source them, they'll be offered at no charge.

It states that you may need to reflash or use capacitors to prevent error code. What about on a 2007 328i E90 with halogens currently on car (but wanting the 4300k HID upgrade)? Would I need to use cancellors, etc.?

A car with halogens is coded for a 55w halogen bulb so you will need a reflash or cancelers in this case.

Hi all, first post here.

I joined this site because I saw the Projector90's on the jlevi site and wanted more info on them. Im so glad to have a resource like this site otherwise I would have ended up purchasing what seems to be an incomplete kit.

Am I reading correctly that out of the box this kit is NOT plug n play with a pre-LCI 328i that has OEM Halogens?

I DONT want to spend over $700 on 10' LCI Halogens and these seemed like the next best thing...

Just wait a few weeks and I am sure a complete and relatively easy solution will be available. I've learned not to rush things with car mods..

No problem, if it is euro-spec you will have the euro bulb holder.

mine arrive tomorrow...i have no problem not using turn signal bulbs for a few days, but i didnt realize these dont have the error canceling capacitor. i wouldnt mind the error for a few days i just dont want to install these and have them flicker on me.

either way, i will post plenty of detailed pics as soon as i take it out of the box tomorrow, and will take many pics during install process and hopefully a diy.

can anyone point me in the direction of what error canceller i need? if the ebay/khoalty ones are just as good as the $150 member ones? searched but cant really find much

Any news on when euro sockets will come with the lights? If I order lights now, will you send the euro socket for free when they come in? Thanks!
