I have everything for it now...just seems like a lot of items on the morimoto side. I was thinking I could hide at least one item inside the headlight unit, but that doesn't seem like a possibility.

Oh, one final question...did you just plug the red and black blades straight into the original H7 plug inside the headlight? The reason I ask is because the instructions show a piece of hardware that looks like what came with the canbus units, but I think they have no use.
Here it is. After one hour of driving with low beam on, it was warm enough to touch
I'm gonna add 2 more zip ties next weekend as a fail-safe

It's underneath the black frame, between the canbus and ballast

Looks like the 3 main sellers are out of stock currently. Other sellers are jumping in and taking advantage of people. I'd just wait it out for the prices to come back down.

headlights

I bought the headlights from ebay 3 weeks ago. The driver side headlight came defective and the top eyebrow wasnt turning on. I contacted the company and they were out of stock so they could not give me a replacement anytime soon. They tried scamming me into keeping the headlights with no refund but thanks to ebay protection they issue me a refund and let me keep the headlights. Be careful with this company. You get what you pay for.

Have read through thread but not buying these as I already have OEM Xenon.

With that in mind I am switching out my OEM Fittings.

Are there detailed step by step instructions on swapping out headlight structure on a F30? Did not see one in this thread even though several spoke of DIY. Any link appreciated.

And if someone wants to purchase my OEM Xenon Headlight chassis (no Xenon parts, starters etc as I am reusing those), message me. 8k miles mint.

I know Hella in Germany makes some of the higher end OEM Headlights (Xenon and LED) for BMW including i8. Do not know about Halogens.

Youtube is your friend. There are at least 3 videos on youtube showing how to do this.

My only question is if you only need the H7's and the Corner Bulbs, How do the rights light up? What light source are they using?

I'm guessing you are asking about LED Halo (angel eyes)?

Led modules light up the angel eye rings. They are installed on the lights when you buy them.

Are they 55w ? Also did you you just type in 90? or is its something else.
