US oem XENONS

ooahomestar · 08-05-2008, 12:40 AM

Quick question about US spec Xenons. I'm wondering if the DIY guide available in the DIY forum will allow me to swap to xenons. This is what I currently have:

325i without the xenon option, and just purchased US oem Xenons (adaptive) to my knowledge all US oem xenons are adaptive.

It came with everything bulbs, enclosures, and ballasts.

am I ready to go? or.... is more necessary... I believe I should be, but I'm not sure how that adaptive feature works... i've heard it won't work since I don't have that option on my car.... but if thats the case I hope the lights don't shift left and right because nothing is "making them face a certain direction"... since they can turn at an angle.

Thanks!

not all US oem xenons are adaptive. I have the US oem xenon option, but they are not adaptive. You have to pay extra for the adaptive ones.

No suggestions as to whether I'm ready to go or not with this installation? a simple yes would be appreciated.... otherwise... a No + comment and a frown on my face would nice hahaa
