E39 Facelift Xenon Headlights

[Mivecrx]

The ones on the car are in great condition actually, I just fancy xenons. Although after spending 100 euro on a xenon bulb and ~ 150 for the levelling sensor on the Z4 - I should be grateful they're halogen

Are they not projector lights anyway? Just put in a decent HID kit. You’ll have to remove for the nct, you’ll have to do the same with factory ones if you don’t have washers fitted anyway.

The projectors in the factory xenon lamps are different to the halogen lamps

more correct would be to say , not all -non xenon lights can have xenons .there is lamps which can have xenons ,even if they came from factory as normal halogen light . I did same swap on my E39 ,bought special holders from UK ,and got original ballasts and xenon bulbs and all work perfect .

I've heard that before but never seen it. I had a HID kit in the 525 and obviously factory xenons in the M5 and they had very different light output.
