Hey Guys,
I'm trying to see if you guys have any information on any shops that does custom BMW headlights in SoCal area, around LA or SD. I still have the ugly stock halogen headlights and I need to upgrade them. I have 17' BMW 330i B48. TIA !!

Buy either OEM projector/LED headlights or DEPO lights and install them yourself. Very easy to do

Btw, you should have posted this in the regional section.

I purchased the DEPO lights and couldn't be happier. I would say it is a 5 on a scale of 10 to install and convert to HID/LED. Reason being, the DEPO lights are OEM ready to plug and play, so, to install any bulb outside of a halogen takes a little ingenuity. I chose to wire the ballast to my HID kit through the side wire grommet to avoid condensation or moisture getting in.

Second piece of advice: make sure that you adjust, or should I say use the adjustment, of the installation screws. They are reverse threaded and are seemingly difficult at first to maintain position, but this is for good reason. If you leave them fully threaded in, the headlights will be aimed down too far causing full adjustment of the headlight to still have too low of a cutoff and what I call the "castle affect." I recommend at minimum two threads of the reverse nut out. You will see what I am talking about if you order them.

If you need further clarification, let me know.

Nothing crazy man, just to get better visibility and distance cause these stock halogens sucks so bad it's crazy, I seen they're site and they do have some quality headlights but pretty expensive!!
