How much to add Xenon lights after production?
Hi ,
I ordered a 320d without bixenon headlight some months ago, yesterday I called my dealer to requesd a modification and add them . He said its too late to change anything in the car specs. I am wondering how much does it cost generally to change the the headlights to bixenon ? Is it more expensive to add them after production than the initial option price at the ordering ? (Price as an option at ordering is about 1100 euro here) . Is it worth going for it ? I think I now regret not adding them from the begining |

There are already several topics on this subject, but all concluding it will cost you heavily.

It's going to cost you at least three to four times the price to add them instead of ordering them when you ordered the car. Here's an example. The Xenon headlight option here in the states is $900, but say you need just the headlight itself it will run about $1100.
I think you had to get the premium package in order to get the xenons here in th states but I think they did away with that. |

For 2012 328 you needed to buy the $3,600 premium package + $900 to get xenons. For 2013 328 models I believe the premium package requirement goes away but I think the overall base price for the 328 went up by a couple grand almost offsetting the cost difference. |

the bulbs are probably H7s. get the 2100 lumen, 65w Osram H7s for like $50/pair and you'll never fret you don't have xenons.

Regardless it would be a total waste of money to add them after the fact. It would be a couple thousand dollars to do it. |
