Best HID Kit for E53
Folks - Just bought a 2006 X5 3.0 and was shocked to find out the original owner did not upgrade to the bi-xenons. Just wondering what is the BEST HID kit to install to replace my damn halogens???

Hmm, didn't even know 2006 models could come w/o bi-xenons. Sure they aren't Xenons?

Got you covered - and with a lifetime warranty:

Apexcone - 35W Performance HID Lighting Kit

We're running the kits in our M3s also.

We have had a lot of success with our ProLumen HID Kits. Plug and play install and a lifetime warranty to boot

No. The Apexcones have bulb-out technology built into the digital ballasts to prevent this from happening.
