I have a 2008 BMW 328i sedan. Is there any way to exchange the halogen headlights to xonen?
Optional Information: 2008 BMW 328i straight six Already Tried: nothing, I would like to know if it is feasible to i stall Xonon headlight instead of factory halogen? My phone no. for tx is XXX-XXX-XXXX
Hi I went to bmw with my access and found 3 part numbers for retrofit kits the first 2 are adding adaptive lights and the last part number is XXXXX bi xenon kit. I can get installation instructions for these kits and all the parts information. Shows 5 hours labor for install. Plus the kit. I went to other access to get prices for these kits it tells me part number not found. I am a tech and do not work parts department. So I am not sure why I can not get the kits to come up. 5 hours labor that price depends on the shops labor rate. Then the kit price. I am guessing around $ 2000.00 or so maybe more than that. Headlights them self are normally 900.00 and that is without the modules for the xenon lights. So I might be low on the parts price. There are some after market kits out there not sure if they will work on your model or not. But I dont recommend them. Thanks mike

Installation time
The installation time is approx. 5.0 hours, but this may vary depending on the condition of the car and
the equipment in it.
The car must be flash-upgraded with the latest I stage status before starting the conversion work. The
required programming time depends on the production date of the car and the work that has already
been carried out on it, which means that we cannot give a specific time for this work.
The time for the programming/encoding is not included in the installation time as it depends on the age
of the car and the equipment in it.
Important information
This retrofit kit may only be used in conjunction with a headlight cleaning system (SA 502).
These installation instructions are primarily designed for use within the BMW dealership organisation
and by authorised BMW service companies.
In any event the target group for these installation instructions is specialist personnel trained on BMW
cars with the appropriate specialist knowledge.
All work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, circuit diagrams, servicing manuals
and work instructions in a rational order using the prescribed tools (special tools) and observing current
health and safety regulations.
To avoid unnecessary extra work and/or costs, if any installation or function problems occur,
after a brief troubleshooting session (approx. 0.5 hours), contact the following:
1. Either your national sales company or your regional office or
2. The Support team via the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP) using the optional technical
parts support application.
Quote the VIN and the part number of the retrofit kit and provide a detailed description of the
problem.
Do not archive the hard copy of these installation instructions since daily updates are made by ASAP.
See ASAP for details of the pictograms.

Installation information
Ensure that the cables/lines are not kinked or damaged as you install them in the car. The costs incurred
as a result of this will not be reimbursed by BMW AG.
Additional cables/lines that you install must be secured with cable ties.
If the specified PIN chambers are already used, bridges, double crimps or twin-lead terminals must be
used.
All the figures show LHD cars, proceed in exactly the same way on RHD cars.
After the installation work the retrofit must be programmed / coded using SSS (software service station)
via the CIP path.
Ordering instructions
The following parts are not supplied in the retrofit kit and must be ordered separately (see EPC for part
number and details).
List of special equipment
The following special equipment must be taken into consideration when installing the retrofit kit:
