Sorry it's an X6 - NOT an X5..
I recently purchased a 2014 X6 35i SAV fully loaded with the M pkg.
My regret is that I did not purchase the Full LED lights. I see now what all other X6 owners are complaining about the yellow corona rings. I would like to replace the halo corona lights but worried that replacing it would give fault/error codes. Also, is the installation going to be hard to do?
I have read numerous blogs on this site but have not found a blog in reference to the compatibility with a 2014 X6. I have spoken to BMW service department and they were not much help.
So I’m hoping if someone can guide/provide feedback with their experience and also to answer my concerns:
1. Finding the right H8 lights to replace my corona rings.
2. Error codes/fault codes – not sure if it would cause problems with auto high beams in the 2014
3. Installation process – how tough would it be.
I opened the hood of my car and noticed each light are housed in a 4” round covered opening. Easy access to untwist the cover but noticed if you have big hands, it would be tough to maneuver inside a 4” round opening. See attached pictures. 1st pic with cover. 2nd pic with no cover.
Hope to hear from you....thanks for reading my blog.
