New X1 owner headlight question

Exxxtacy · 11-27-2018, 09:14 PM

I recently traded in my 2008 e92 335xi in for a 2015 X1 xDrive28i. I'm still getting used to it and learning things about it. One thing I can't seem to get a straight answer for is the headlights bulbs and angel eyes.

I wanted to change the hideous yellow bulbs and angel eyes. I ran my vin with a decoder and it shows I have the "Light Package S563A". I'm assuming that means I have the xenon headlights. (if someone can confirm that )

What's a good common replacement? I was looking at the Sylvania D1S but I need confirmation if I'm xenon.

I dont know about the "light Package" Look at the headlights. Do the low beam lights look like projector style lamps or do they look like a reflector style light? The projector style are the HID bulbs. I also think if you have the angel eyes you have the HID bulbs. The HID is only in the outer beams. The inner ones are still Halogen.
