headlight assembly - questions
I am hoping I can get some help from this forum. I have a 2001 X5 4.4. The passenger side headlight assembly has a lot of condensation in it (more like heavy water droplets). I would like to change out the assembly without going to the dealer. So here are my questions: 1) How difficult is it to remove / replace the entire assembly; 2) What should I replace the assembly with? My X5 has all options so I think it has the xenon light option? 3) what's it going to cost me? Thanks so much. I hope to one day have enough knowledge to begin to pay the forum back for is help. BE |

You "think" it has Xenons, it is pretty obvious. And the assembly is far more expensive with HID's then not.
Make sure the condensation isn't the result of a bulb being lose or the grommet around the bulb breaking down before replacing lamps. ![]() ^ non Xenon

You may buy a used headlight set from eBay for only around US$100. It is very easy to replace it, just release four nets and release the HID light wire, and replace it. 15 mins job.
