Retro fit E53 03 Xenon light into 02 Halogen equipped !!!

[Tymatk]

Hi all

Managed to get hold of a set of Xenon headlight off an 03 E53 X5 (i believe). Looks completed with ballaster.
My car has self level adjustment so it's all good, what OEM harness do i need to make it a complete bolt on job?

Highbeam, park light, indicator looks to be plug and play except for the dip light. (Obvious )

Anyone has a photo of their Xenon equipped E53 photo of the engine bay and mainly focus at the back of the headlight to give me a better idea? Prefer around 00-03.



Thank you

Thanks....

I don't need a relay kit as i can use Navcoder to eliminate the warning on dash. What i need to know is from the Ballast, i could see a missing plug/wire to power up the ballast so it can ignite the bulb.

This wire is what i need ....or i can use the existing wire for the halogen unit and maybe just need the plug ...?

Anyone know where i can get the plug?

Try the stock plug (that plug into your Halogen bulb.)

Hey guys

How and where does this back plate sit in the engine? This one that is to hold the Ballast.


Thanks

Under the headlight assembly. The headlight has 2 tabs that bolted to that piece.

Take the headlight off and you will see it underneath. Here is the diagram on RealOEM
