Too late man.
Should have done your research before buying.
I'm sure you would have gone for a car with Sports Package and Xenons.
Now you're pretty much SOL

Yes you can go to a dealer. . .
I'm pretty sure they'll ask for around $8,000 for the Xexons.

xpillzboyx · 01-17-2009, 08:45 PM

first stop:
get yourself some blacklines.

dollar for dollar the best thing i got for my car

xVeNoMx · 01-17-2009, 08:50 PM

nah this was the last 3 series they had so i didnt have any options well besides waiting but i needed a car and wanted sinethung small i guess i could have got a 5 series but decided against it. Well than is there any after market lights i can get for cheaper?

Congrats on the car

You unfortunately cannot retrofit angel eyes into your existing headlights but you can purchase OEM xenons to swap out the entire assembly for projectors with xenons.

blacklines here ya go!

Boost Gomez · 01-18-2009, 04:04 PM

Are those OEM?

cbetlyon · 01-19-2009, 07:25 PM

yes, they are made by the same manufacturer of the oem black-lines but have a darker tint to them

imo- they are much better looking, on a dark car. idk about on yours though u might want to go with the lighter black lines.

ejazbmw · 01-19-2009, 07:34 PM

you can get xenons still pm ******* there fairly cheap compare to the dealer

There are many vendors here that have items which you can order to make the appearance of your car look so much better...Spend some time and look in the vendors exterior section and you will have your hands full of things to get!!!

I would have to say go with the OEM Blacklines for yours since it is a lighter car.

+1 on that, many products to choose from

Houman21 · 01-20-2009, 06:33 AM

You should look at doing LCI xenons if you plan on doing a headlight upgrade.

This isnt entirely true. You can in fact retrofit angel eyes on the halogen headlights but there is a great risk in doing it.
