Hey everyone,
I'm tired of googling and looking through decade old posts about this topic so I'm going to make this short and to the point.
I have a 330ci with halogen headlights. I am super tired of the light out put they produce and frankly they look like nothing compared to the xenon counterparts.
I recently bought a pair of used OEM bixenon headlights with the proper ballast from a parted out m3 (I'm assuming they are bixenon, maybe someone can confirm this)
Hypothetically if I were to just install the headlights without the 3prong 12v power connector for the high beams, would I run into any issues besides my high beams not functioning?
Will I fry any electrical work in my car?
Will I get codes or any warning lights?
If so, how do I prevent this? I scoured the web as much as I could with little to no result in finding the exact power connector that I need.
If i do find the proper power connector and just wire it, will it solve any issues that I may have or cause more?
I really don't need high beams. It's rare that I use them and the light output from the normal beams will surely be more sufficient than my current high beams.
I guess my biggest issue is frying any components if I just plug them in normally. My second concern is to have these installed without getting any warning lights.
I have absolutely no electrical background and have no idea what I'm doing.
I couldn't attach a picture I took but please see below examples of the ballast that looks exactly like mine. From my understanding from the research I've done I do have bixenon

Here is another picture.

I'm sure many people came here asking the same question, but for some reason u just simply can't find the answer in looking for.
