F31 Headlights

Looking for advice on replacing my halogen headlights please.

I would like to go oem route but not opposed to aftermarket. I can’t find exactly what I need : oem LEDs but with not modules or aftermarket (ali express) but are only LHD, I need RHD.

Any help/advice/expetiences much appreciated

I understand wanting the brightness and color of LED, you can get that with an easy and inexpensive bulb switch and coding.

Halogen headlights look dated, I think xenon or less will be a nice upgrade

For your update you need to change wires, for xeonon different and led/led adaptive different then you need to add for led(non adaptive) 5A2 in vo... I am doing right now halogen to led(non adaptive). I started a thread about it, so there maybe you will find more information I cant tell you where you can find oem lights. On aliexpres i saw modules, but there is no oem lights i think...
