You can get the other laser headlights for like $5-6k I believe. Not worth it IMO

As far as Lasers are concerned, they are way to expensive, especially as a retrofit because the light output is maybe 5% better than with Adaptive LEDs you have on your car. For EU spec cars Lasers only kick in automatically for high-beam in rare occasions when you're driving above 60km/h and if there is absolutely no traffic in front of you AND if the road is completely dark. So 99% of the time the light output is the same as with adaptive lights. If you're only looking to get Lasers for their DRL signature lights, that's a different thing.

Someone did it on an X5 but it threw errors and I don't think the effect worked as it should but he seems ok with it. https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...991&page=4 Also you'll lose any BMW warranty on that bit and possibly more as there isn't an official retrofit option. Expensive retro when compared to the factory price for little gain tbh. Although the DRLs are nice. I'm also wary of how 'cheap' these eBay ones are considering new they are £6k per light...
