Will check out Mike then.
I asked PML previously about retrofitting the pre-LCI xenons and they weren't very encouraging. At one point they told me it was roughly 10k (not true!).... madness... Probably no incentive for them to push the parts.

Re: facelift 2009 E90/E91 Halogen headlight got angel eye ring?
to be frank, its very costly to retrofit especially you're talking about Bi-Xenon headlights. It involves quite a no. of parts.
-A set of Bi-Xenon Headlights (with OEM bulbs + Ballast)
-All the wire hardness
-A Footwell module
-A Light control Switch
-A set of Headlight washer (needed for LTA approval)
-Re-code for error free.
last I asked was 5.4K after 20% discount. cos labour cost can't take advantage of that 20%.
alternatively, talk to Mike. he had ideas how to do it more cost effectively and not void any warranty.

Re: facelift 2009 E90/E91 Halogen headlight got angel eye ring?
Thanks! Does that mean there're 3 types: standard, bi-xenon and adaptive bi-xenon? Or is it bi-zenon and adaptive bi-xenon?
I went by PML this morning - low oil level warning went off again and I took the opportunity to check and it is now $5.8k nett. Dunno whether the halogen corona rings could be a better cost-compromise.
The corona rings on the pre-LCI xenons don't look as nice as the LCI ones.
Not sure whether in today's economic climate whether I am prepared to blow nearly 6k on headlights!
