    E38 xenon highbeam/DRL harness

    Vehicle: 2000 750iL with stock Xenon

    Anyone know the part# of the wire harness for just the highbeam/DRL? on my 750iL, the wire insulation is crumbling away. Would like to replace if possible. I checked realOEM, and the part (at least I think it's the part) seems NLA.

    Thanks guys. Any experience replacing it? Does the headlight need to come out? Any tips/advice?

    Yes, to replace that harness the headlight assembly has to be removed from the car and completely disassembled.

    I ordered the DRL harness and received. Exact, love it. just use the part number above BMWPARTSVAULT.COM.... I ordered two, came in a matter of days. I am going to order 2 more sets as I have two cars and a spare set of headlights (just in case)....

    14.80 a piece, can't beat that deal.

    I finally got around to replacing my frayed/worn out headlight harness. Seems to be a common E38 problem – mine were frayed down to care copper. I bought 2x part# 63128381467, OEM from my local BMW dealer. Noticed that this new harness has an extra plug (a tan connector) related to the high beam (I think??) , and an extra wire+pin (a gray wire) coming out of the main teal headlight connector. Anyone know what this extra wiring may be for?

    ECS has a great photo of what I'm referring to:
