00-03 Xenon headlights to 04-06 headlight
 
I got my eyes on these for the facelift. These are Bi xenon though and not sure if they will work. Are all 04-06 bi xenon?

Bi-xenon means there is a solenoid controlled cover that drops when you go to hi-beam.

So BBS you bought these? I've been thinking about these as well. Guess you're going ahead with the face lift? LOL.

Oh ahhh...haha im kinda confused, but these will work on my pre facelift. I just need to have them wire them up correct?

Something achieved by a "Conversion Harness." See below.

Okay. But will i be using the same bulbs from my prefacelift? Oh btw do you know if ill need new fog lights for the facelift? thanks!

JayX5 02-14-2009 06:01 PM

Can anyone confirm if these will work if I facelift my X5? And what will I need other than new wiring? Are anything thats not inlcuded in the package completely necessary for me?

One thing I did notice is that you'll be transferring a pot of money to europe. "NO CREDIT CARDS"! Not very advisable unless you can afford to kiss it goodbye.

Yeah I just saw the ad. I did email the seller and he says credit card and paypal is fine.

Meaning that the HIDs (outer lights) on Bi-Xenon are used for both high and low beam by a flip of a flap. The inner lights are now only functional as "flash to pass".

On non-Bi-Xenon, the HIDs only work in low beam. The inner lights act as both high beam and "flash to pass".
