New Here, Hella Headlight Question?

[AlexDowntown416]

Hey all,

This place is awesome! our E53's are so rare, there's no one to talk to who knows anything about them. So "one up" on everything you guys have been doing on here. All ready I found the solution to the rattling sound from the back hatch on here, was the bump stops that needed to be replaced.


I'm a new 2006 4.8is owner!! took me 5 years to find her. 58,000miles on it! Black with the cream interior.

my first question is regarding the Hella replacement headlights.

on www.umnitza.com they have them for sale. but there's a few options to pick that i am not sure about.

for Angle Eyes is the ICE VXX what I should be looking at or the standard cell? whats the deal with the $700 Orion V4 custom retrofit?

for the headlight bulbs option there are 3 options, not sure which one to go with....

and lastly the third box is asking if I have xenon controllers, which i am unsure about.... what should i click?

looking forward to your opinions and help.

regards,

Alex

The 4.8is should be Bi-Xenon Headlight With Clear Indicator
see this link and confirm you have a ballast, angel eyes etc.

If interested...I have this same set of base lights in classifieds. I can’t do much better on pricing than you found...maybe $1200, shipped. They ARE gorgeous lights!

Hey ajacks, yeah thats what im looking for, however, it seems non of the hella euro versions come with adaptive headlight feature, including yours?

anyone know why the euro versions do not come equipped with the adaptive headlight feature? it almost seems like my original US versions are better???


and in saying that, would it be possible to buy "ajacks" euro version he has for sale, then swap out the xenon with adaptive feature from my existing headlights and put them into the new euro version???
