That depends on if your car came equipped with bi-xenon lights or not. It was a $800 option if I remember correctly. If you are unsure, call your dealer, they can look it up in the system.

FYI, to the others, I inquired about these lights and they do not have the auto-leveling feature. Oh well.

Correct.

The auto-leveling is controlled by the external leveler that is connected to the light assembly via a rod.

WHS^ I wanna know how they look on a not matte car, or even better, an M. Know the lighting will be crap compared to BiXenon.

I'm not really bothered if they're crap, they look the dogs bollox

fercho · 03-24-2011, 01:01 PM

i honestly like the way they look

robrwalker · 03-24-2011, 01:58 PM

Hmm...none of the pics so far suggest you can run these things in a way that just the halos turn on...that is the draw to me that Tekcarbon retrofit achieves.

Damn

why couldn't you have just given our babies some OEM halos?!?
