Headlight swap on '07 328xi

macioman · 06-18-2018, 07:43 PM

2007 328xi in dire need of new headlights. I've decided to swap out the whole assembly for these guys : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A21X3P1H73DDN3

However this is changing the system from Halogen to HID. My question is do i need to install a ballast or relay somewhere? or can i just install the new headlights into the front and plug and play? I've searched the forum best i could and couldn't find an answer. Appreciate the help.

Also: First time Forum user and BMW owner. Thanks for the patience gents.

The listing says compatible with factory HID only. If you search the forums for halogen -> xenon swap you could see what you are in for. These are not plug and play per the listing. Not sure where the ballasts mount but it doesn’t look like they are included.
