Xenons

jetblk328i · 03-04-2007, 12:24 PM

Hey in my previous post i dont think i stated my question that well, here it goes: I know there is a way to change from halogens to xenons, i know it costs a lot, and i know its a little hard to do. So my question is where can i buy the entire headlight, not just the bulb or the ballast, but the entire thing, complete with ballasts, bulb, housing, angel eyes, etc. Also is there a simple way to do it, cause i searched on this forum and it looked too difficult for me

so is there an easy way or if i buy every thing and go to the dealer, would they do it for me?

thanks

I have seen some threads on this... SUPER expensive as I recall. You'd never get that money back - it would be like adding a new master suite onto a mobile home.

why didn't you just get xenons to begin with? It would have been sooo much cheaper for you.

jetblk328i · 03-04-2007, 12:59 PM

okay, you clearly didn't read the threads that I linked you in my last post, I even typed the thread title to make it easier for you.

READ them, all your questions are answered in those threads.
