Headlights OEM BMW or Morimoto
I did the same exact thing. This is what I got [Morimoto mini](https://www.theretrofitsource.com/bixenon-morimoto-mini-h1-stage-3?quantity=1) . Installation instructions aare available online and it required putting the headlight in the oven to take the cover off. It was pretty easy. 5 years later and still works and i use high beams frequently. You'll have to do some custom work to find some place to hold the ballasts in place in the engine bay. Very high quality product.
Morimoto headlights. Mines a 4th gen, but i never get tired of seeing how much it stands out in a sea of rams here in alberta.
Morimoto has been good to me. 4 years or so first Gen xbs.
I have Morimoto Super 7 headlights, they are amazingly bright but look way out of place on a Miata. I keep my lights down during the day so I don't scare any other Miata owners out there. I outshine Teslas and Porches in my area at night.
So the headlights on my BMW are so much better than headlights I’ve had in previous cars. They illuminate the road so much better.
These are known to go bad. I didn't have your issue, but my passenger light decided to start flickering one night instantly. The next day, the DRL wasn't working, and the low beam wouldn't come on. I ended up getting new headlights from Morimoto since I had no warranty, and I wasn't going to pay $1200 for one headlight from Nissan. The OEM lights are pretty good, but terribly designed, causing water intrusion.
I have installed the morimotos on a '14 f150 and its plug and play. I did have to warranty out a headlight as abled went bad.
I looked at a BMW 7-series with them years back. I spotted tons of issues with it (dynamic headlights fault was one that stuck out in my memory) but they just brushed them off as "They all do that. It's just because it's not been driven for a while".
Hey, something similar happened to me with my BMW bike. I only had a broken front headlight and indicator, but they added extra things and did some extra damage to the silencer, rear taillight, and added tank scratches.
Any BMW. You have to take the side fender and various front engine apart just to replace a headlight! Dealer says they'll replace both for $2000.
