BMW 135i Headlights

The factory headlights on your BMW 135i serve a variety of purposes, most of which have to do with lighting your way. You use low beams the most, since they're what illuminates the road ahead when it's dark or raining. Switch to high beams to cast a wider pool of light in the dark of night, but only when there are no other drivers around. Some flip from low to high and back again to alert oncoming drivers to a hazard on the road. Specialized fog lights augment your standard headlights, using their low glare to cut through gloomy conditions. There are a variety of headlight bulbs used, but three are most typical. The commonest option is halogen. Some vehicles feature a narrower headlamp housing that pairs best with high-intensity discharge (HID), or Xenon, bulbs. Newer models may come with the added energy-efficiency offered by LED headlights.

Choose the Best Headlights for Your BMW 135i

Eventually, your headlight bulbs are going to start to dim or fade. Halogen bulbs typically need to be replaced after two years of use. Xenon bulbs offer up to three years. LED headlights will need replacing once they burn out. When you do need to replace your bulbs, or change any headlight components, make sure to choose the right ones for your car.
