NEWBIE ALERT!!!

I had a 4.8is up until April this year which was featured in BMW Car Mag. It's a beautiful looking motor and the sound it makes is just intoxicating. Main issues are if it has Pan roof make sure it's working if not from what I know it's an expensive job to put right. Make sure the air suspension ...

[quote="pvr"] I changed mine to LEDS but did not have to change anything to get to them though? [/quote] It's more about access to the rear of the headlights is my main problem.

Hi guys I have a facelift 4.4i sport X5 E53 and my headlight halos have stopped working so need to replace them. Looking at getting a LED kit, any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Re: Facelift E53 Halos

[quote="X5-D-Sport Salisbury"]
I found a pair of 25watt Cree LED units for my 2004 halo's and they look pretty good in daylight too...
Flea-Bay for about £20+ each.

Have you got a pic of them on the car and possibly a link to the eBay item?

I've seen a few kits but was wondering would someone be able to ...
