And auto levelling in the UK. Also, if the beam pattern isn't properly
defined it will fail at MOT time.

Does anyone know how hard is it to change out the factory headlights
for Xenons?
I have a 2001 325ci.
Thanks for any help.
I don't know how hard or how expensive, since I have only had them on new
cars, but they are an incredible driving and safety asset. Truly
remarkable,
particularly for people who suffer any type or degree of night blindness,
but better for all in every way.
And on another note: while it seems to escape the attention of most
people,
the active headlights are really remarkable. It is amazing what a few
degrees of directed illumination does on a dark road. I love 'em, I don't
know that I would ever consider another *new* car that wasn't fitted with
active zenons.
Changing the lights is quite easy ,you only have to change one of the plugs |
on the new fitting with one from the old ,and mount the ballast /ignitorbox
behind the lights.
The whole operation takes 20mins.
BUT. it's not legal in europe if you not have washers for the lights .

snip
ISTR very expensive.
This is true for upgrading to factory xenon lights. If the original owner
had purchased xenon lights as a factory option when he bought the car, the
xenon lights with the self-adjusting mechanism, it would have *only* cost
like $750, a relative bargain....
Yes it is! |
Replacement costs for the assembley is $1250US per side.

Well that's a little high.
I got a cost of $1250 USD for Bosch OEM replacements...
For both sides.
