Jase25 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hi all, Damo88 bro here Just got my e46 325ci sport and it's got xenons ( when I turn ignition on they self level so these are Zenons rite?) My question is! If I put hid in wil they be brighter than my current xenons or do they have the same effect ( sorry for crap question but need it clarifying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob- Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 The self level you're describing is just the motor test the LCM does on start up. Doesn't indicate that you have xenons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 You don't have Xenons. If you did, you wouldn't be looking to fit HIDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you can adjust the height of your head lights inside the car next to the switch then you won't have xenons If you do have xenons and you want brighter then 6000k d2s bulbs is what u need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob- Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you do have xenons and you want less light output then 6000k d2s bulbs is what u need Edited for accuracy Frobius and Daz 330 Cs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomis Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you have a wheel to adjust them in the car then their not self levelling so wont go up and down on start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob- Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If you have a wheel to adjust them in the car then their not self levelling so wont go up and down on start up. The up and down on start up should happen whether they have self leveling or not, its just a motor check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Oh!!!! Its down then up anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tymm Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) when you turn the ignition on do you here a motor if you do then you need to get under it drivers side LCA (wishbone) and there should be a little plastic arm number 5 is what you´ll need to fix, they always get broke when people forget to disconnect it when changing the LCAB look here also http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BN11&mospid=47615&btnr=31_0409&hg=31&fg=05 Edited August 21, 2012 by Tymm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can move them up and down with the leveler inside the car but mine dont move up and down like my bros does when starting the car etc That's because yours are aftermarket, so won't have self levelling.
