Who can wire headlights?

Does anyone know any place around massachusetts that has experience doing halogen to xenon conversions? I also need them to be able to wire 2004 headlights into a 2001? Thanks

I have a 2001 with halogen headlights, i'm looking to install 2004+ XENON headlights. So the new lights will need to be wired so that the angel eyes work and the parking light and turn signal wires are now a single wire. This is what i have gotten from the others who have done this already. I would also like to convert to xenon while i'm at it. Let me know if you think you guys can do this I would definitely come by.

Putting 2004 headlights into a 2001 requires more then just swapping the headlight units. You also need to replace the hood, fenders, and front bumper cover (aka, the "facelift").

Unless you are seeking to do the complete facelift of your X5, the more economical solution would be to retrofit Angel Eyes into your current headlights at the same time you are doing the Halogen to Xenon conversion. Several vendors here can help you with what you need to do this, including Dave at customangeleyes.com and JLeviStreetworks.

Yep exactly, unless you want to go through all that work it'd be better to get a set of aftermarket angel eyes like our Predator Chromiums and an HID Kit (ProLumen HID Kit) to retrofit into your stock headlights.

I know about the facelift, while i was getting my wheels/tires mounted and balanced the idiot drove my x5 into the wheel balancer and scratched up my front bumper. Minimal damage but luckily they scratched the black plastic lowert section so the whole bumper has to be replaced. So anyway i got $1100 and i already had the 4.8 bumper so i decided to add the new hood and fenders too. the whole thing cost me about 2500 with euro clears and a 4.8 bumper and they're also replacing/painting my door handles/ trunk handle, so i think its a good deal.

So again im looking for someone who can install the facelift xenons on my 2001.
