E53 New Headlights c/w Angel eyes

pvw10 · Post by **pvw10** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 10:33 am

Would prefer to have angel eyes and have found these "Depo" ones which are about the best make after OEM. Seller says straight swap no warning light issues.
Yellow eyes is to replicate stock, i can change bulbs to brighter white the seller also advises.
Seller says electric levelling is included i just need to swap the ballast and bulbs, my question is;
Is this both correct and simple and can anybody forsee any issues ?.
Thanks
Paul

i've got them on mine. my source was different though. i did get it from a different seller in Germany. the cost is the same and it is a direct plug and play. i do not know about this particular one but i have purchased 2 sets for X5s and 2 sets for e39s before and they are great. if you don't have Xenons already on your vehicle be sure to get D2S bulbs for the dip beams. if you have factory Xenons than it is a direct swap. i am about to upgrade my Xenons to 75W D2S bulbs and ballasts.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes i have the factory Xenons so thats ok then.
So i just remove the light, unplug the lot and then fit the new ?

yes. unplug them , 4 bolts off on each side swap the light bulbs and install the depo ones in. you are good. i am also changing the turn lights with LED ones. i am planning on swapping my xenons and leds at the same time

Couple of people have done this upgrade and it is a straight forward swap.

Will be interested to see how this pans out as the OE xenons are really crap compared to all the other BMW models I have owned.
