BMW 7 E38 pre facelift (1994-1998) - Single xenon headlights
This BMW 7 E38 retrofit kit contains everything you need to swap your old, blacked-out single-xenon (low-beam xenon only) projectors for powerful new bi-xenon (both low- and high-beam xenon) projectors. Using the exact same mounting points, it makes retrofitting quick and easy. And, most importantly, it will take your 7 to the next level – just check out the test pictures! This is way beyond what the majority of OEM projectors can achieve.
Providing a light output unmatched by most OEM projectors, the new Aharon Optimus TR Mini is the perfect retrofit for your headlight. The design is a development of the proven Mini H1. Featuring a crystal-clear 2.5” lens, it uses D2S bulbs, so you can keep your current lamps and ballasts. The light height and pattern control will work as usual, too. And as the cherry on top: with all the necessary wiring supplied, you also get an upgrade from single xenon to bi-xenon. The result is incredibly bright lighting – a huge improvement in both high and low beams!
Lastly, this kit provides every single part that you will need for retrofitting. In order to keep the price low, we have however assumed that you will keep your existing xenon bulbs. Depending on how old those are, you may want to also order a new set of bulbs to get the most out of your retrofitted system. Xenon bulbs do lose up to 70% of their maximum brightness over time.
This complete BMW 7 E38 retrofit kit is inspected by our internal quality control prior to shipping and comes with a solid 2-year warranty. It also includes highly-rated technical support from your lighting experts at Retrofitlab.com

This is an easy retrofit that even complete novices can do, but those with more skills and experience will be quicker. Discounting removal and replacement of the headlights, you could expect the job to take anything from less than one to two hours.
The BMW 7 E38 headlight needs to be opened, but this is a simple job only the clips that hold the front needs to be removed. For details, please see the installation video.

The product images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product. Actual products may vary due to changes in manufacturing/product enhancements.
The product/kit pictures can differ from what you have received/will receive because we use generic pictures for the kits. Because with all the different options/product changes etc. it's nearly impossible for us to take pictures for all the kits we have and with all the different options. For example, butyl sealant can be shown in the picture, but with headlights that are originally sealed with butyl, it won't be in the kit.
Professional retrofitting
This complete kit has been specially developed to enable retrofitting at home, saving you the cost of installation. However, should you prefer to have a professional carry out the retrofit, you can simply mail your headlights to the nearest participating workshop. They will then perform the retrofit and return the upgraded headlights to you, ready for use.
Please note that, for professional retrofits, you should order your Retrofitlab kit or parts directly from the workshop in question (it saves you money on shipping).
