Huge difference! Beautiful! Was waiting for this. Explained very well too.
So confident that you didn’t even need to test it 🙌🏽
Good job they look very nice 👌
SOOO much better. Nicely done.
Somehow your car have the same spec of the one showed in the 1998 geneva motor show
Where can I get these connectors to do the equipment of my headlights?
Excellent tutorial! The facelift headlights and rears make a huge difference, as does the steering wheel
I have an 03 E53 X5 I converted to HID's and I do not have the wire harness for the auto leveling motors. Do you have any idea how I could splice them in? I have four unutilized plugs with three wires each. Two on each side basically and I believe one set is for the halo running lights but I still haven't been able to find an answer for a whole second plug. The motors are all 4 wires I believe but not sure which colors the wires should be
Shouldn’t the marker lights come on with the halos?
Facelift euro headlights don't have marker lights, which are required for state inspections (ie, Virginia). My car just failed because of these exact same lights so I'm having to revert to US spec in order to pass inspection.
The marker lights on US spec headlights are illuminated via a fiber optic cable from the angel eye socket.
Be careful with The lower headlight trim, the tab can easily break
Would this tutorial apply to the non-M5 e39's?
Yeah man, if you have headlights already you can upgrade to xenon! Go for it.
*doing this to my 99 528iT atm. Used 2003 sedan ones for cheap. Need new lenses though
1000$ for headlights?
Yup! A single headlight from BMW is more than that.
Hi, where can i find those 4 connectors? I've searched a bot online but can't seem to find them. Do they have a specific name?
Thank you for making this. Congrats this makes such a big difference. I assume for facelift cars it's direct plug and play? I need to bite the bullet and order these.
Yup should be plug and play for facelift cars.
@@ShiftedPerspective thank you
@@ShiftedPerspectivel wish
Mine was l meant say. U r nearly as good as Strethan on M539 & that's a huge compliment
I have a 99 touring & want angel eye headlights. Please any advice l just brought OEM's & bricking it
Great video I just had 1 question do you always have to do the soldering part bec my new headlight it has these extra white and black lights but what is that exactly for?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, send me an email: shiftedperspectivellc@gmail.com

This is not a retrofit! You just replaced the headlight....
it's not a plug and play, you have to rewire the factory wires and add a connector which is why I said retrofit.
Hey any chance you still have those pre facelift headlights?
I'll have some soon
