    Converting Adaptive Xenon to Halogen

    Does anyone have a guide to do this or is it just a plug and play swap? Does anyone have a wedophones link for the x3 e83 platform?

    I purchased a nonrunning x3 chassis and have rebuilt the head, redone timing guides, new seals, and am installing a low boost turbo for the first stage of this build and once I verify that the engine is running correctly I need to get some headlights. I don't want to drop new prices for the adaptive xenon that came with the car originally and I'm hoping someone else has figured out how to retrofit halogen housings.

    To my understanding, it's not a direct swap of the bulbs. You'd have to modify your wiring as well. You don't want to purchase the bulbs? Or the assembly? I understand if it's the assembly. haha

    I bought the chassis as a project for $600. It came with one headlight that was completely destroyed and the other one had been sold off of the car. I mean in theory it shouldn't be too bad, just have to do some switch testing and find a pinout for the halogen setup I guess.
