Is It Possible To Change HID Xenon Low Beam Bulbs ---> LED Low Beam Bulbs In E53 2003 BMW X5 3.0i?

Hi all,

On my 2003 BMW X5 3.0i, for the low beams, it has Xenon HID Headlights. However, I've been considering switching out the Xenon HID Headlights for LED Headlights. I went to three different car stereo shops.

The first two car stereo shops both had said that it is not possible for them to switch out my current low beam Xenon HID Headlights for LED Headlights because if you put in LED Headlights where the low beam Xenon HID Headlights are, that will burn out the harness.

However, the third car stereo shop I went to said it is possible for them to switch out my current low beam Xenon HID Headlights for LED Headlights. They showed me the product they would use, which is the Sky Limited Sky King Series LED Headlights Plug & Play (100w, 10,000 lumen). This product is a plug and play product. Here is the link to the Sky Limited Sky King Series LED Headlights Plug & Play Product:

My questions here are:

Is it true that inserting these Sky Limited LED Headlights into where my Xenon HID Headlights are can cause the harness to burn out? Can this cause any potential harm to the car?

Has anyone heard of the Sky Limited Sky King Series LED Headlights Plug & Play (100w, 10,000 lumen) product? I've tried to search for reviews, but I do not see many online other than what is found on the above two links.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, that it is possible to burn out the hardness and/or damage other systems in the car, if the replacement units draw much more current than the car and wiring was designed for.

Never heard of them - but that doesn't mean much. There are so many LED suppliers now, no one can keep track of them!

What would worry me is the HID systems are rated at something like 35w and these state 100w - that is around three times more power (which means three time more current) than the car's system and wiring is designed for.

This is also not likely to be a plug and play solution, since you need to remove (bypass?) the ballast and ignitor used by the HID lamps. At the very least additional wiring looms are required and possibly cutting up the car's existing wiring.
