    Post Headlight conversion questions

    I am fairly new to the BMW world and I am trying to learn on my own and figure out some questions I have but, I am having some trouble understanding what info I have read.

    I have a 2011 328i (E90) with the halogen headlights with halo (or angel eyes) but I want to upgrade to xenon headlights with angel eyes. I would like to install factory or oem headlights because I like the factory look. But my questions are can you change them out and it plug up like the halogens in my car? and if not what do you need to purchase or change to make them work? also can I get the adaptive headlights to work if they didn't come factory?

    Please respond if you have any experience or knowledge of this headlight swap. I want to make sure I can even swap them and i have everything I need before I start buying stuff. Also if I don't make sense in any of the sentences above please feel free to question me!

    Thanks!!

    I have a 2011 335 with Xenon Headlights. I want to get brighter Angel Eyes. I checked with BMW and they said they have a upgrade Bulb. I believe 505 is what he said. But the bulb is listed as Blue and they believe it will be brighter and not yellow. Anyone have any knowledge about these bulbs. He also said it will just plug in with no alterations.
