I just picked up a 02 530i in pretty good condition. I am trying to outfit it with 8k xenon lights and dont have a clue which direction to take. What do I need to buy equipment wise? Not looking for the best but something that will really keep me happy and content.

Kits are plug and play now-a-days. Just find out what kind of bulb you car takes, and go order the kit with with right bulbs.

do i need a kit for each my highs and lows and fog lights?

 

[ShiningBuick 10+ year member]

yes, depending on how your hi/low setup is..

Many cars have 1 bulb for hi, and 1 for low.. so that's 2 kits, plus 1 for fogs. From the pics I see online it looks like that's how your car is set up.

Also, one thing to look out for is daytime running lights. They give the bulb LESS than 12v, and if you hook up an HID kit to the bulb that's your DRLs, it WILL die. Check to see if you've got them or not.. and if you do, disable them. A BMW forum would def be able to tell you how.
