Xenon conversion

Hi I am able to get some xenon lights at a good price and was wondering if I have the lights and the xenon control switch will my existing halogen light looms and wires work or do I need to replace those too

Thanks

Don't know the answer but to be legal (MOT) you'll also need the washing system too. I'm guessing BMWs with the halogen lights don't have that already.

And also sensors in the front and rear suspension for headlight aim control.

Thanks might opt out of buying them as it seems a big job

Yeah there is a lot associated with having Xenons, probably the best bet is to look at high performance bulbs instead.
