- I am a huge fan of giving older BMW cars a facelift. In today's video we take my 18 year BMW E60 M5 and give it two major upgrades that not only make the car look more aggresive, but also modernizes it.

The OEM LCI headlights and taillights are way better than these aftermarket stuff.The color is beautiful thought.
Ignore the hate man, I respect you for trying something new for the rest of us to see. Keep it up.
🙏🏼
Let me quickly address the "The OEM ones look better" comment before it gets out of hand:
As a content creator and online parts seller, I like to try new things out. I like to demo different parts for those potentially interested. I've learned over the years that just because you don't like something, it doesn't mean others feel the same. In my early TH-cam days I only stuck with OEM/OEM+ upgrades because that's what I thought looked the best. The minute I started introducing mods that were outside of my comfort zone, the brand shot up in a positive way.
Sure I can install some fresh OEM headlights like every other person out there, or I can diversify my approach and have a better chance of standing out from the rest. Like I mentioned in the video, I am not sure if these headlights are for me, but I do want to give them a fair shot.
@@bmwbuilds6028 Quite the accusation there. You are more than welcome to visit the shop so you can check out the inventory we have.
@@bmwbuilds6028 Never said I had association with the design. And I actually work closely with the actual factory that makes them. No need to reach. Don't like something, move on.
@@bmwbuilds6028👀👀
@@bmwbuilds6028 Now you're just throwing spaghetti at the wall 😂. All good man, I'm used to getting uninformed comments. Enjoy your day my dude 🙏🏼
@@bmwbuilds6028 He deleted my comment - but yes you are correct. Aliexpress or Alibaba have them up for half price... Easy to find.
Personally think the OEM look is better.
I'm in the middle, I like the modernized look but the OEM look is iconic
Especially if you need to remove and code out features. I love my lci headlights.
i think the OEM light are boring i see them every where and these new ones looks really sick
Oem wheels in silver is much better
PeRsoNalLy ThInK ThE oEm LoOkS bEtTer .
In my opinion these headlights looks terrible on the e60, oem are 100% better! But the wrap and the wheels are awesome!
@@bmwbuilds6028 exactly
yup
@@bmwbuilds6028 alibaba king 🤣🤣🤣🤣
looks better then old oem
@@janekpsx if you’re 12 years old maybe
Good God those headlights look terrible, took out the best feature of an E60 with those Alibaba headlights
they’re $1000. not alibaba bro
@@kaleb_h2angel eyes r better than snake😮💨
Been a viewer for many years but recently subscribed, I think it’s really cool how you put modern BMW headlights on an older BMW, never seen something like that before
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
Changing headlights and taillights reminds me of back in the day fast and furious days when every civic had some altezza taillights and some cheap depo projector headlights that get condensation the first week.
Now OEM headlights get condensation and some cost more than $3000/ea
@@eptdy new oem headlights do not have condensation, lol , just stop
@khemchee4685 look it up. Most do it buy design. Especially LEDs since they're ventilated.
@@khemchee4685 cazzate
I love the aftermarket look. I only wish I could give my E46 that same look.
LCI headlights are best for E60
Those headlights look amazing!
E60 is Timeless. Never Old
The new headlight looks very beautiful on the E60 and gives it an updated modern look. The wrap is truly awesome too 👍
I mean, the E60 is timeless. If someone wanted to bring to the 2020s this might be one of the best mods to do
Thanks for sharing. Where did u get those headlights??
Nevermind i just seen the link. Thanks!
Bump the hate comments. The styling of the headlights mixed with the color wrap is chef kiss
Just gone from a silver e46 to a factory Silk Purple f83. Absolutely love it. Especially with opal white interior and carbon.
The color is amazing. Reminds me of the Daytona Violette BMW had on the E30 and E36.
I actually Like the new headlights and the color. Black wheels on it would look sinister with some carbon as well. You like it, I'm with you.
I love the new lights. Makes the car look brand new 🤙
Should have just put the 535i adaptive headlights and program them in with inpa, you have to change your year build code and it should work after you figure out the wiring.
Hi, thank you for this video! I bought the same ones but only when I turn them on, the high beam also comes on even though they are not activated on the dashboard or on the comodo. Have you had the same problem or do you know how to resolve this problem?
Not gonna lie but Coño Christian... Those headlights actually look really good! It really sets the car off as a fun package! Great job and great video!
Aliexpress / Alibaba drop ship rice special, love it.
Nothing rice about it
@@eptdy How is it not rice? Why would you go this route over OEM/LCI? Stick to era correct lights..
We got a F90 M5 at home lookin ahhh. Rest of the car is nice though 👍.
Great job, Kristian. Love the new lights on the E60
Love the colour, definitely would/will have the lights on my E61.
I think the headlights look great! Although I feel like you should’ve put the LCI lights in front and rear.
I got these headlights on my e60 awhile ago and they look amazing. I’ll try to post a video
if I was not a BMW enthusiast , yes 100% look more modern, more premium.
However, I was about to get those for my E91 ( the same as the yellow E91 ST you guys have at the shop), but I wasnt so sure.
I went with OEM LCI look, and changed the angle eye for the square one. Not a massive upgrade, just a little one that keep the era spirit.
The wrap is just SICK! And the headlights kinda grew on me, especially considering you just want to try out new things (obviously, it looks best and cleanest with some OEM LCI headlights), but I do feel like the taillights could be different. Like more the OEM style, but with thicker LED stripes/bars, I think you know which ones I mean. I believe it would look perfect with them! Still, absolutely love this build, and can't wait to see what else you've got in store for the E60!
The headlights look realy cool, they look similar to G38 LCI in L shape. I like them really much and the color is just next level. I know that color for a long time, it was introduced from Nissan.
Love the new wrap! Any idea if these lights will be available for the E63 M6?
These headlights are SICKK!
I voted for this colour(Jamaican) when you did that poll some time ago!! Loving it!!
Thinking about ordering these headlights for my E 60. I’m just worried about the LED bulbs burning out and not being able to change them. They are advertised as laser ?
Laser style. Headlights come with a one year warranty
@ that’s what I’m worried about a year later and if stopped working? Can I change the bulb? I wanna order them, but I don’t wanna screw myself a year later because I drive sometimes up to eight hours at night.

Hi I bought this lights to my m5 e60 I would like a video how to code the headlights message
Just curious, because I'm building out my e60 550i... do those aftermarket headlights retain the adaptive functions for auto leveling and dynamic turning?
They do not.
@@VehicleVirals bummer there. Did you code out that portion so there wouldn’t be any faults?
@@digitalapexatl correct.
Do they make those headlights for the e63 6 series
Hey bud, I think they look really modern. Do they keep the adaptive function in that they move to follow the steering? Cheers
Adaptive functions are disabled
Man these headlights look so good!! Don’t let these comments change you’re decision. I’m an OEM+ guys but those OLEDs and sword frontheadlights are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this car so much. You did a fantastic job on it.
I think if a opportunity presents itself you should definitely grab a B58 platform car. I know you have the S58 with the M2 but I feel the mases have more B58 and I plan on getting one soon so it would be cool and helpful to see that type of content as you are a creator I trust heavily with the information and tips you give. Been watching you for the N54 platform and working on my brother in laws 335i and its been smooth sailing.
Part of the plan 🙏🏼
so would I lose the adaptive feature on my LCI E60 or its possible to keep with these headlights?
You'll lose adaptive
I own E60 535i , despite all the criticism I like the headlights and don't mind trying them. Only thing stopped me from doing such a job is coding car for new headlight. I don't know and I have never done, Can you make contents more geared towards coding / using INPA & ISTA so on & so forth ?
I have not been seen very much of content creators going this route when it comes to customize BMWs that requires some sort of coding and software upgrades.
Enjoyed watching your videos everytime ,
Will there be anything in the pipeline for E46 headlights? There is VERY little, if any aftermarket support for E46 headlights, and they had a major issue with burnt bowls which causes massive light issues.
Green looked awesome. Rare colour too
Will it work without coding it? Also are there any dangers and could it kill my car’s cpu?
Love the headlights, looks amazing
I think this looks fire!
No one makes updated headlight for the E82s😢
Do you guys have any recommendations, I don't want to open mind?
Preferably M4 Hex or normal circle Angel Eyes
I know today is going to be good and it’s going to get better.
Love the headlights, if I still had an E60 I'd order some right now.
It's a M5, your engine speak for the car, greetings from Borneo Island Malaysia!
Idc what no one says these look way better in my opinion 👌
Headlights looking sick homie
looks way better with those headlights
Are these headlights compatible with BMW 550i M Sport E60 2008?
Yes
these look so good
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏼 I think the headlights and the wrap look amazing that’s my dream car and I would have done everything the same , I have an e90 and have similar headlights
Will these work on halogen models?
Email us support@vehiclevirals.com
Looks pretty good just wrap the top of the headlight lip
Where’d you get the carbon fiber mirror caps?
I don't have carbon mirror caps.
Wrap looks way better but oem headlights look better , I’d say get some updated oem style headlights
Can u get this lights for f06?
Needs Lci tailights and headlights and then it looks good
Midnight purple looks great
I like them. This to me is a tricky car to make look good. I think the lights work with the darker cool wrap…
Looks good to me. You only notice the blue on close up shots
head lights and taillights always makes a car look modern lol but ill always take the halo lights then the new bmw base headlight squished look
it looks so freaking good
I love the Headlights give the link to place an order
The link is in the video's description
do the E60 headlights also work on a 2008 E61?
Yes the e60/e61 parts are interchangeable minus the obvious parts associated with the hatch
lights are fine, not a fan of the top part but the regular section is cool, i prefer the halos but its all subjective
These Headlights are awesome 👌, where is the link.. I would like to order
In the video's description
@VehicleVirals ok got it , how long will it take to ship to South Africa?
@@muntuwilliams4857 Normally a week
@@VehicleVirals ok cool, thanks
A note : I use a clear or a black silicone glue rtv high temperature and bead a line around the seal of the headlights smooth it out with your finger your good to go no water 💦 in the beginning and no water during the life of the headlights
Bro, is there one for the e63
I kind of like those headlights. Except for all the blue.
Do these work for 2008 bmw 528 xi halogen headlight models ?
Yes
@@VehicleVirals does it require coding ? Do you guys have a video on how coding works ?
@@adamortiz9111 email us support@vehiclevirals.com
Why not change the bumper to f90?
People saying you ruined the car are just haters . i think it looks great
I think the lights looks nice
Is that condensation around the top of the lights?
I address it in the video. Totally normal at first
@@VehicleVirals Ahh good to know, I must have missed that part. The startup animation is insane though!!
I think they look cool. Nothing to do with trying to make it look like something it isn't. Agree oem stuff is generally better quality. But times move on technology moves on. Most ppl are worried about what others will think.
Nice i like it want some for my e60 🤘
Looks amazing!
Anything for e39? 😢
Man been waiting for the vid for so long thankfully can watch this while learning about Mazda parts 🤣
Impressive ❤ I love it can you come to Malaysia to do my E60!💗
Hey bro any for 2004 x5
Change the door panels with facelift ones,the interior will be more nice 👍
I like the new 1s, it looks nice
E61 makeover 😮
why is there sweat in the headlights that are brand new?
Change of air. It's normal with new aftermarket headlights. Goes away and never comes back after a few days.
E60 is such a timeless design, those aftermarket eBay looking headlights are not it! I don’t think they look good on the E90 either.
Do you have for e36?
Looks amazing
Nice vid bro
They look good bro literally you jumped the car 3 generations forward ppl hating are the purists that only buy liquid moly for their BMW or sum
i think they look great!
Me likey! 😂 Now paint them rims black and it's complete my guy...😊
