Head Light Difference?

Hello,


I have a 2003 E55 with a E63 Front End. I bought the car with the conversion already done so I do not know if he replaced headlights or what not. My CENTER LIGHTS are UN PLUGGED, when I turn on my lights I get warnings for the lights, that is ok with me BUT when I turn on my high beam, I get a warning for the high beam but they work just fine? Is there a difference between the lights or is there resistors I can add to turn off the warning? I have a STAR system so if its do able thru there can someone send me the link? Thanks...

Those are NOT the updated (facelift) model headlights.
1.Did you try to reconnect your city lights?
2.Do you have an aftermarket HID kit for your High Beam?

Dennis - Any idea which lip is on your car (I like it)?

Vioilio - What updated options are available for a 2006 e55 with the bi-xenon lights ? (I have the e63 front.)

There is a difference between the e55 and e63 headlights. I'm not sure if the op does have Factory HID or Aftermarket and the headlights on his car are regular Halogen.

I do not have any aftermarket headlight bulbs, I do not see any ballast or aftermarket harness. It is an XY LIP from Gary @ Suvneer. I didn't try to plug city lights in because I don't want them on.

They are halogen. The hi/lo works off of one bulb.

Nope, I figured they would works and the warning wouldn't come on, I dont want th them to work. They are ugly when running.

What is the main difference in the 63 lights?

E63 has different projector shroud bezels with 3 bars that cover the turn signal and the plugs are different on the back of the headlight
