Fake 7 series headlights on the X
Check out these aftermarkets headlights. It says that it has some sort of a xenon kit. But I am a little skeptical about the actual functionality. If you already have xenons, would chaning the ballast from the original xenons to the ballasts that these aftermaket headlights use cause an error code with the OB computer?

I prefer the stock lights with some Angel Eyes, but these fake 7 series headlights might look good on the X.

You should not get a code if you buy this kit.

However, your beam pattern is better with the stock headlights than with these.

Do you guys think they will improve visibility compared to OEM halogens?

i find it strange that many of the sellers of these aftermarket headlights never have any pictures of what they're selling actually on an X...

significantly since they are giving you an HID kit. It won't be halogen anymore.
