Q: 17" Rims and Xenon

I want to change my 19" rims(Sport Packet), and put some winter tires on 17" rims.
My questions:
-1) The 17" rims , are from a bmw 5th series(2001) , will the rims fit on my X5?
-2) My xenon from my right side has turned from blue into red-pink, the left one it's OK. I have to change the xenon bulb?



Thanks!!!

1. The rims should bolt up, but being that they came off of a 5-series the offset may not be the same. Try and and see how they fit/look.

2. It's possible that it's the bulb. Swap them (left to right and vice versa) and see what happens. Be sure not to touch the bulb with your fingers, though, as the oils from your skin isn't good for them.
