Are these the headlights that turn with the car?

If they are xenon then yes....

Edit: They are self adjusting....

I don't think they are "Adaptive" headlights, Even if they are It would be difficult to integrate that system into your retrofit anyway. It's more that the simple bi-xenon setup that uses a solenoid to raise a shield.

Edit I think the newer ones have it 06+ no sure about 04.

Yeah they are bi-xenon, but I noticed what appears to be the system that makes them self adjusting and also move slightly left/right. Not even gonna mess with that tho.

The Bi-xenon is a simple wire that says "hey raise the shield I want high beams." This means you can wire your high beam directly to the solenoid.

That Adaptive System works with the steering, I can't even begin to think of how that one works. lol

D2s projectors, not sure who makes them though - Google?

That would be crazy if you got that technology in your truck.





I will send you positive reps if you do it an teach me.

How much did you pay for them, if you don't mind me asking?

I want projectors... not a universal kit. I might can come up with something for the adaptive system also, Ive been doing some reading on that.

I didnt pay anything for them... They are Hella projectors

i have the adaptive bi xenon headlights in my 06 5 series... it has a sensor on the steering column for turning portion and for the auto leveling portion there are sensors on the control arms to sense angles when you are on a slope or not completely flat.
