Hey everyone, I have a 2009 BMW 328i xDrive with yellow headlights. They aren't very attractive and I would like to change them to white/blue. I don't know much about headlights nor do I know what kind of headlights my car has. So if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Ah so you want an HID bulb conversion kit. Or you can go to your auto parts store and look at the regular halogen bulbs, they make some that aren't the so called yellow. But if you want HIDs check out DDM tuning. I've orderd 2 kits and have never had a problem. But remember it is technically illegal, but that doesn't stop people and me..

You just need to buy a HID kit for your headlights. You don't need a whole new assembly, just the bulbs. You have to know how bright you want to go too. You don't want to go too bright or else you will probably get pulled over and people will hate you. Find someone local that can help you switch the bulbs for HIDs. We aren't much help other than just giving information.

What if I wanted to change my headlights to this?
What are they called and how much do they cost?

Those are called Halo's. They don't replace the headlights, they are just an accessory. Should cost you anywhere from $150-$200 depending on what you get.

Oh so it's not an entire headlight? I searched them up but entire headlights come up.

No it's not. You have to open your headlight assembly to install them though. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, have someone help you.

Depending on where you live they're should be a shop around you or within a half hour drive that specializes or works on putting lights in just search around online & see what you can find

These should be just fine for you. You can also customize them to you're liking.

Actual you can just a buy a whole new headlight that already has halo's already built into them and if you want like a light blue/light head light i would go with either 6k lights or 8k lights. The 8k has a little more tint of blue in them
