If you do DIY it will not be worth the money
consider: 4 door handles (w/the key indentation) the modules and a new key thats programmed for the door to recoginize it.
Yeah, we can live without it The rest of the car makes up for it.

I just changed the low beams with the HID conversion kit and swapped the parking lights with LEDs.

What is involled in the headlight conversion? Wiring? or plug and play?
My wife just picked up a 15, going from a x5 the first thing she complained about was the headlights.

That is for the pair. Each order has a ballast and light for both the left and right headlights.

The hardest part was getting the light back into the headlight housing. We ended up cutting away the rubber wire holder and used the stock metal fastener thing that comes off the stock light and having the wires kind of loop out the back of the fastener and screw the light in.

I didn't for awhile, however I did get it after about a month. I decided to reseat the outside light fuses under the rear seat as we as reseat the parking lamps and it went away.

Did you replace these yourself and if so, do you have the procedure on how to replace these? Im thinking about ordering the same set you have but want to know how these are installed.

Yeah, I replaced the halogens with HIDs and replaced the parking light bulbs with LED bulbs.

Any write up or instructions. I was going to order and replace the parking bulbs but I wasnt sure how to get them out. I assume you just need to firmly pull out (vs twist, or unclip, etc) but didnt want to break anything.

That's pretty much it. I used the original metal clip around the original bulbs, cut away the round orangish yellowish plastic guard and turn it into place with wires kind scrunched together coming out the back. AZN optics might have a write up for it.

Try to get one with a stronger canbus to avoid getting error messages as what some of us are getting.

Shouldn't get any error messages from AZN Optics. They're made specifically for our cars. I never got any errors on my end.

I got some LED parking bulbs off the internet that were advertised as canbus error free for a couple bucks. I installed them in the parking lights (just pull out the light housing and then pull the bulb out) and they look great and no errors so far. I have a couple pics in another thread.
