FAQs
How do I choose between halogen vs xenon versions?
Match what your E90 has from the factory. If your car came with halogen headlights, select the halogen-compatible version. If it came with xenon, select the xenon-compatible version. If you’re unsure, compare your original lights before ordering.
Is this a halogen to LED upgrade / xenon to LED upgrade?
Yes — it’s a modernization upgrade focused on the LED DRL signature (arrow/snake-eye) and updated appearance. Choose the version that matches your original halogen or xenon setup for the smoothest plug-and-play install.
How does the DRL color switching work?
Flash the high beams to switch DRL color: 5 flashes = White DRL, 6 flashes = Yellow DRL. Repeat anytime to change modes.
Are yellow DRLs legal where I live?
Rules vary by country/state. If you plan to drive on public roads with yellow DRL enabled, check local regulations.
Is it plug-and-play, and will I need coding?
These are designed for plug-and-play fitment with OE-style connectors. Some cars may show bulb/lighting warnings depending on original options. Vehicles with adaptive functions (AFS) may require disabling or coding adjustments to prevent warnings.
What’s included?
A complete left + right headlight pair and a basic install guide.
Do I reuse bulbs/ballasts/modules?
No — the assemblies are supplied as integrated headlights. Install the headlights as complete units using the factory harness connection.
Any install tips to avoid issues?
After installation, verify all functions before fully reassembling the bumper, make sure connectors are fully seated, and aim the headlights to avoid glare. If you have AFS/adaptive options, plan for optional coding to prevent dashboard warnings.
What’s the warranty?
1-year warranty from the delivery date on non-modified units.
