E49 540i new member

Recommended Posts

Hey Bimmersport,

Finally i have another car to be proud of. I am a new member, with a new car (post count may give this away).

Recently purchased a 540i and had heard of the forums through a friend so thought it best to get acquainted, gota love like-minded petrol heads and free mod/repair advice :) .

Anyway, some (sh*t quality) pics are attached, good to meet you all.

Beware with HID - you need to replace the whole assemblies. It is illegal (& rightly so) to use HID bulbs in non HID lamps

He has projector style headlights, it would be fine in his case as he already has the needed reverse projector mask.

Its just a inline ballast and bulb upgrade for him going by the photos hes posted.

hotwire Ideally id like to go with angel eyes and hid's. Am in incorrect that this would require a full unit replacement, furthermore is the legality surrounding the melting of plastic headlights?

Hybrid, am i able to simply purchase and install one of those HID kits (ex trademe etc) for these headlights as they have the reverse projector masks?
