Hi 5wanny, mine was chipped and remapped by Formula One in Gateshead. Cost was £499 but it pulls like a train!!
Personally, I would always have it done by an expert coz, given how sensitive BM electronics are, you never know what damage a plug in could cause. (Just my opinion!!)

Yeh you're right, no winning with some folk. I have the carriage extra issue constantly up here in the Highlands.  I can (reluctantly!!) accept this if it's a carrier but refuse to buy from anyone who charges extra when it's by post,

Hi , Raj is right. I bought the same wipers as Reusch and had the big gap in wipe area. Removed the black plastic tag and bent the metal pin flush with the arm, problem solved!!

Hi, yes I have to agree the standard snowflakes are the best look. Maybe try Gumtree, I was looking for winter wheels and tyres and saw quite a few snowflakes at reasonable prices there. Be best to get them well checked though,

Hi lads, sorry, no-one has come back with suitable units so I am just going to re-seal the standard ones and look for replacements in the summer,

Hi Gav/Gaz. have had a reply asking if we preferred chrome or black so have said we are not really fussy but possibly chrome. Will advise any update.

Hi Gav and Gaz. I have emailed nicedeals.co.uk asking for a price delivered to 3 addresses for all suitable headlight units. I like the look of FKFSBM053 at £242 but FK Automotive are advertising them for £209.72.
My email provider wont let me email FK Automotive so could one of you try please ...

Hi kkodal, yes, they look the business, any more info?

cheers crofter

No probs Gav, given the number of complaints about our lights maybe we could do a group buy, the more the merrier (cheaper)!!

I need to replace the headlight units on my 2002 X5 3.0d Sport, pre-facelift. The standard tungsten units are rubbish.

I have been looking at units from FK Automotive, projector type c/w servomotors at £237.70 but am not sure if they fit my model or what the quality is like.
Autoarts at £145 seem ...

Headlight all steamed up again!! Has anyone fitted replacement aftermarket projector type units? I really need to replace mine but dont want to buy crap!!. Was looking at FK Automotive set at £237.70 but am not sure of the quality, also does servomotor mean the manual adjuster? Autoart are just over ...

Sod's law, with all the muking about and cold hands working on the lights, I didn't shut the boot properly and flattened the battery, DOH!! Got her started today, Nightbreakers a definite improvement but still not great so am waiting for quote for reflector suitable kit, will post update,

cheers ...

Hi, I have been working on my lights this weekend and can confirm the prefacelift has a plastic retaining ring with no metal clips, its a push and turn bayonet type fitting,
