Some foto, FYI. It works, but not as beautiful as the HIDs in 2013, which i long for modify.
Yes, i give my VIN number to car dealer and they told they don't have compatible kit for my car. Weird.
Look forward to more discussion with you on this topic.
Looks excellent. How did you modify the OEM assembly? What did you use as a high beam projector? Or it is just a dummy? What did you use as bi-xenon projectors?

Thanks

Hi Juidia

I saw in another thread your angel eyes are infact the LUX H8 ones?

How do you install those into a retrofitted headlight housing?

Does anyone know if there are aftermarket Angel Eye rings accept H8 bulb?

Just saying i myself am f'ing pissed that australia doesn't have xenons as a standard option. I feel the xenon/angel eyes gives the car a more premium aesthetic to it when it sits anywhere on the road. I too have asked my bmw dealer about retrofitting and they don't do it which is what im really ticked off about.

Going to try contacting BMR autowerks here in syd and see if they can help out with this retrofit.

A humble suggestion.
I have a Jeep Wrangler that I fitted with E-code lights, 100w bulbs, and relays to make sure full wattage reached the lights (there's a lot of loss thru' the steering column switches and back).
The resulting lights are quite good; maybe not quite the Xenons in the X1, but very good lights all the same.
For the OP, if you are happy with the beam pattern of your OEM lights, give some serious thought to bumping the wattage and running relays. The whole notion of shifting the beam pattern for left hand drive just makes my head hurt.

Hi Vitlovksi, nah i didnt end up doing it as its far too expensive expecially here in Aus.

I found I'm having all sorts of other issues such as economy which I have to look at first!
Where are you based in Australia?

hi Vitolovski

Are you in Sydney ?
I found a guy who does lighting / HIDs/LEDs and he mods headlight housing.

He discussed optiosn where he would mod the inside of your housing with projectors , shrows and put in Angel eyes and HIDs. I saw some of his stuff and looks EOM as its using your original housing.

I think he said between 750-900 depending on what components you want to use.
Still way cheaper than any other method.

Im not sure I will do it as I will probably change car but if you are keen i can pass the guys details on. (well i found 2 shops that do it so you can call and compare)

cheers

Hello li21

Interesting but i am close to adelaide.
I think i will hold off a bit longer on
Doing a headlight retrofit. I read your
Other thread on your xdrive20d's
Performance and I have a couple of
Suggestions.
1. Your gearbox does not seem to be
Functioning properly when you dont take
Of from a standstill in 1st gear.
2. Your air flow meter may have been
Overlooked at service, this can cause
Poor engine operation and higher fuel
Consumption figures.
3. I did do recently a road trip to sydney
And driving around the city and freeways
I found i had to rally drive to keep up
With the traffic. Maybe your fuel consumption
Is ok in regards to sydney driving.

Is there indeed a version of the xenon lights set up for driving on the left? Are they marketed in Great Britain or elsewhere?

Hello moon.

Yes there is a version of xenon lights set up for left side
Of the road i.e. RHD vehicles. Yes they are marketed in
England only where i have enquired they dont post to
Australia. Everywhere else germany, USA they are LHD
Lights which is for the right side of the road.
Frustrating really. I am after the 2013 static version
In RHD which is the headlamp level adjustment
Only, not the adaptive lights that turn into corners.

Vit', have a hard look at my previous post regarding 100w incandescent bulbs and relays. This is relatively inexpensive, and it may meet your needs, or at least until you are actually able to get a English-style set of Xenons. As I said, the lights in my Jeep aren't as good as xenons, but they come mighty close.

If you Aussies are already using up-wattage bulbs and relays (Euro-spec lights), then never mind...it's what you already have.
