Halogen 2 Xenon - Worth $700?

Thats how much the headlights + ballasts are going for on Ebay.

So is this upgrade worth it?

YES! I did the swap, and will never go back to Halogens.

Yes! 100%! That should be one of the 1st mods you should do IMO. $700 seems like a great price for everything, considering new its worth well over $1500.

Smile 700 $ !!! To Expensive !!

Hello,

700 $ is really to much to convert your X5 from halogen to xenon ! I did the same a little more than half this price... And it's perfect !!!

If you are interested, i can give you the contact of the reseller : she's my wife !!!

I guess the prices have gone up since a lot of used X5s are being bought. Ive been bidding on auctions on Ebay for 2 weeks now. Every one of them goes for at least $400 for 2 sets of headlights Xenon with bulbs. Ive seen as high as 700 for them.

If you got the contact information of someone selling xenon parts for the X5 I will glady take it

Guess I was lucky. I only spent $350 for everything when I did it. I even got 3 spare bulbs. I picked up a couple of spare lights for under $100 last year.
