Xenon Question

Post by n1k85 » Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:13 am

Morning Guys,

I picked up my X5 last night and today I'm ordering a few parts here and there that are needed.

My brother ordered me a set of Angel Eye bulbs since mine looked on the way out :)

My X5 (Facelift) has projector headlights, I'm also considering a HID kit (OEM Looking) but IIRC the law is changing regarding self-levelling lights etc

I Do have projector lenses and of course headlight washers, is there any way I can fit HID's without it being an illegal MOT failure when the new MOT laws come in (2012 IIRC)

Any help or links to a guides would be ace!

Thanks

You'll be fine with the HID kit as the X5 has self levelling rear suspension.
