Get some silver indicator bulbs, will look better without the egg yolks.

You sure it's the last thing you'll do, what about the rear lights

Might get some bulbs, for now yes.

After xmas I need to sit down and do the last bit of saving for a house deposit. Once moved out I will decide how long I will keep this car OR how quickly I can get in to an M3.

Not sure yet, either way. I am still head over heels in love with my car. I have done so much to it, and I am really proud where its at now!

No, your best to keep the old one so you can adjust the headlight height from inside the car!

For halogens yes, with a retrofit for Xenons this dial becomes dead. The leveling is meant done via sensors on the Suspension bars.

It still worked on my E90 xenon retrofit, maybe your guy didn't rewire them correctly.

From what I see so far, there are about 3-4 ways to wireless xenons up for a retrofit and BMW don't offer a guide or want to do this conversion themselves so people wanting to do it are left with using retrofitters who lol seem to have a different way of doing it.
