BMW M5 Headlights

Your BMW M5 headlights can come from the factory in two types. Low beams are one. They light the way adequately in most road and weather conditions. High beams are the other. They shine wider, meaning you can see better when it's darker and no other traffic is approaching. Most headlights also work as hazard lights. These are better known as flashers. They warn nearby drivers of dangerous road situations or signal that you're in distress. Some headlights also incorporate fog lights. They shine low with minimal glare to illuminate the road better in bad weather. Whatever headlights your BMW M5 uses, OEM headlights in general are usually one of three lamp types. Halogen bulbs are the commonest. Xenon, also known as high-intensity discharge or HID, you often see in sports cars. The last is a low-heat, more energy-efficient variety called LED. When to change your original BMW M5 headlights depends on their type. Xenon headlights should be replaced roughly every three years or when they weaken. LED headlights, however, should be replaced if they burn out or their electronics go bad. Halogen headlights should be replaced at least every two years.
