Learnt the hard way after buying my wife an Audi Q5 without Xenons. After pricing up the new headlights, wire-harness, and recoding it just wasn't worth it. That didn't even include the washer system and self-leveling system required to make it legal in Aust!

I am sure they will. There are countless people regretting not getting xenons, that's why BMW probably came up with the retrofit kit.

Don't hold ur breath. BMW have been moving away from retrofits for the past few yrs, hence no official kits for E60/90 LCI & also no kits at all for any F-series cars.

So are we still in the same boat with no xenon retrofit kit yet (from BMW or after market)?
