E38 Bi-Xenon! headlight installation in stock headlight assembly!!PIC WARNING! UPD!

[Edwin NL]

OK here we go!

First off tnx to Pavel for the push to just do it!

The projector lens





Old vs NEW





Take the headlight out of the car (see E38.org)

Remove the weather strip



Flip over and undo the 3 T20 screws



Slide out



Use a screwdriver to remove the clips



Remove the cover of the xenon





Back view



Use a screwdriver to pry both headlight adjusters off







Remove the headlight cover



Remove the screw in the corner



Remove cover and you see this





Use a pair of pliers to pinch the center so it pops (headlight adjuster)



Unplug the highbeam



Remove the ground wire



Remove the tabs (front and rear) yo remove the center piece









Now you see the back screws



Not sure what you call these (inverted torx?)



Undo all 3







Pull the lens straight out

[Edwin NL]

Empty housing



The major difference in lens size!



But just as long!



Only one is marked RIGHT!





Nice and full!



When test fitting you can encounter the motor to hit the housing





I removed a little



The holes in the lens



The screw size



Drilled the holes a little bigger





Nice a tight fit!



Made them a little bigger for better adjustment









Align it correct!!!







Headlight without cover



With cover



The cover does not fit so we need to grind a little to make room



After I'm done



Nice and tight and does not touch







In place



Reconnect the ground wire



Gently slide it back in!!!

[Edwin NL]

My projector was hitting the inside of the housing





So removed a little extra metal



Installed







Solder the wires (extend them)





And connect them to the brown (ground wire) and the white from the high beam light

But it back together and install in the car!

Here a new and old headlight!

New




Old


All done



And the AWESOME video

Do not think of this mod lightly!

It took me 9 hours to get them perfect!

Nice job! What are the bi-xenons from, a 2007 E65?

[rudyE38]

sweet man. thats an excellent mod.

[Jamesbond740il]

Did you notice a significant improvement in low beam output? I have Acura tax projectors in my eclipse and they have much better output and cutoff compared to the oem e38 projectors, I was really unimpressed with the oem xenons. I think I might be switching them out for my Acura lenses.

[SEVEN40iL]

When I saw bi-xenon, I thought you would be retrofitting the existing xenons from the low beams into the high beam location. THAT would be awesome!

Great Mod none-the-less

[bstar]

How much?

This is Bi-Xenon buddy

How much?

You got whatsapp

[rob740il]

whoa... sick conversion edwin. I like how the new projector eliminates the gap between internal lenses and projector it self. Looks like it's meant to be that way. Where did you find the projector btw?
Oh, one more question.. I want to swap out my existing projectors to more crystal clear ones. Is there any out there that can fit? If so what are the size of oem projectors?

[njdjh2o]

NICE, 9 hours to do, you could have done it in 5 if you wasn't taking pics and stuff.

[Edwin NL]

5 is not possible!

The first took me 5 hours and today 4

[Jamesbond740il]

Man just watched the vid, and now I'm sure it wasn't just me, oem e38 projectors suck badly. Looks like I know what I'm doin Tom. Hopefully it'll go smooth. Now I wish I hadn't given away my bixenon projectors I had laying around.

Great Mod but you missed a spot..........................
When you get to NY I will show you!

[Sphynx]

Cool mod...another great writeup! Nice choice of background music btw .

[Strahan]

Very cool

Are you willing to convert other peoples' housings for a fee if they ship to you?

[SEVEN40iL]

This. Is a great idea!

[Chief Jimbo]

Pre-face lift cars can also be converted.. This is a very Awesome mod!!! I do quite a bit of night driving and these make the trip alittle more enjoyable..

Very cool

Lol.. Just have to find someone in the states that is pretty close to you that has also done this mod..

[Zorack]

Gutsiest move I've ever seen Mav. Would those be the Hella 3" E55's?

[Chief Jimbo]

Hella 3" are in the E55's as well as the M5's..

[spazzboy]

very impressive.
As usual.

[Zorack]

Hella 3" are in the E55's as well as the M5's..

So I take it that's a +1 on the fit? Pricing seems reasonable.

I had a couple extra issues because I have the preface lift light housings but the fit was still real good! My only issue is that the back lens covers do not fit because the D2S HID set up is bigger then the originals.. But working on a work around..
