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???

OEM

:iagree:

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

OEM

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 :)

Will these throw codes? Thanks

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

OEM. Nothing beats original BMW xenons

Since OEM seems to be a common response, besides bending over at a BMW dealership, can they be purchased somewhere else?

I got my OEM kit with ebay for a fraction of the price. Also go to some BMW forums like this and post a WTB add.

Or try this:

I have the whole retrofit for sale. PM me if interested.
