Which OE xenons will fit my '01 3.0?

Sorry for the noob questions guys, but any years I need to stay away from? I want AEs, not plain old xenons.

I'd say 03-06.

The 2003's were still pre-facelift, but if you ever want to add angel eyes down the road, then definitely get '00-'02's.

Actually more like 09/02 on if I remember correctly. That's when the hard glue came in so lights could not be opened.

Any headlights from a 2000 through a 2003 will fit your X5.

You don't need to open the lenses to retrofit or replace your xenons - only if you are wanting to add angel eyes.

What build date were the Xenon headlights you sold me from?
