i agree, but still better than halogens

Hoothout · 02-16-2009, 07:11 PM

is this just plug n play? or did you have to buy a bulb or redo the wiring?

creaminz · 02-16-2009, 07:11 PM

Plus to be honest guys, I really don't like them clear in the front...... Put euro's in the rear of My X-5... My Old 3 (2003) I went Euro alll the way around the cars, but that was it.. We'll see,

Unfortunately I paid waaaaaaay tooo much for these things because I had no idea that BMW's electrical components that come with the lights were gonna be junk to me (Ballasts, wires, etc)

chad57 · 02-17-2009, 11:07 AM

Euros and lci are both stock OEM...

nyalpine90 · 02-17-2009, 11:12 AM

if they are stock...u need to modify the wiring inside the lights in order for them to work on your car...

too expensive to get them to work without modifying the lights

mds82 · 02-17-2009, 11:24 AM

let me open them up for you and either put in Carbon Fiber or paint over the amber!!!!!

Tell me about it... And no 1 knows how to give the right info eiteher.. Seriously, People @ BMW are retarded... But thanks man.. I apprciate the info..

I embarrased to say that I paid 750 for those housings, that came with the BMW Harness' and ballasts that I had no idea was gonna be JUNK to me...

Found a local guy thats gonna install them and mod with no error, german HID's, for 250...

So I was trying to save money but I didnt.... Wait thats not true...

How much would it have costed the way your saying????

Can agree that this is definitely a step up from halogens

LuvMyRide · 02-17-2009, 12:17 PM

Bro, so far from plug n play its not even funny.. The dude that sold em to me, explained it to me as if they were plug and play just because they were BMW parts... He obviously didnt know what he was talking about, But I dont know anything about cars so... Bikes- yes, Producing music-yes, Construction yes,...lol... CAR's - NO....Oh well

man...if you are going to go through all that to just get headlights. You should have just gotten my coupe conversion kit! We could have done the whole install in 1 day when you get to LA!

Of course, its alot more than $1k.

LuvMyRide · 02-17-2009, 01:40 PM

I hear you bro.. On a really tight budget with the move and all... Which really sucks because when its time for me to spend money, I always have to sacrifice..lol

Responsibilites SUCK!!

All together it'll have costed me 1k flat, installed... So.. But thanks.. Maybe we'll meet up in LA. name??
