Question E90 LCI Headlight Upgrade

Hey guys,

Looking for some quick advice. Upgrading Halogens to HID's on an E90 LCI 2010. I am looking for ideas on where to mount the new balast once I have drilled through the dust cover to allow the cable connections necessary?

All advice/ideas would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

On mine there was two bolt holes, from who knows what, at the perfect spot for mounting. Just look around. You're probably gonna get spammed for putting HIDs in a halogen casing on this forum though.

Its that or fork out thousands on a Xenon conversion, it allegedly has the anti-glare shield with them. Thanks Cdutch. Does the Ballast get hot I was just worried out mounting on RHS with wire harness and lots of plastic around?

Thanks

No you'll be fine. Get a good set of bulbs and ballasts. I recommend the retrofit source
