Need recommendation on lights
Just got a 2004 745Li and I'd like to improve the headlights and foglights. Can anyone make a recommendation regarding product and difficulty of installation?

Thanks!

your car has factory xenon, you can replace the capsules to a 5000k or the most popular 6000k, very simple no more complicated then changing a regular bulb.
fogs are h3 and you would need to get an hid kit, install is fairly simple and should take 1/2 per side to complete.

What's the cost on Prolumen?
What would it cost for the 6K lamps and the hid kit for the fogs for my car. Any diy instructions available for installing the fog kit in the 7 series?

Thanks!
