R53 Hid to Led conversion

Wondering if any of you have done this, with success and hopefully not too much mods? I purchased an led headlight kit but it requires me to cut into the factory hid's not sure I want to do that, any help would be awesome!

Cheers

Here is a halogen to Xenon set up with our Helix projectors if that helps. If you run a Xenon or Led on low beams you will need the factory 7/2004+ xenons or aftermarket projectors he carry as they have cutoffs for the light projections, so you will not blind people with your low beams.

Most true headlight mods will require you to do some trimming/dremel work. I retrofitted some Spyder headlights with true HID projectors a while back and had to do some dremel work to make the projectors fit. But, in the end, it was definitely worth it.

What's the kit you bought?
