Replacing 328i headlights (lowbeam)
I'm new to the bmw world and wanted to replace my stock headlight to an HID xenon (white). I was wondering if someone can point me on some instructions on how to do so? Also what type of HID bulbs do I need to buy?
Cheers, DB |

Sedan or coupe? If sedan, do you have factory xenons?

you need a kit, something from like mtec; they work pretty well... i didnt like them when I had them on my other car, it overheats from time to time (the ballast) and sometimes the light flickers...
overall I hate hid kits -hence all my cars now have stock hids |

Does the light housing work well with an HID bulb? A non-HID setup running HID bulbs may cause some nasty glare/dazzling to oncoming drivers.
