New guy needs help with a headlight problem.

Hey every one. I have an 01 BMW that I just bought. And I need new headlight so I can pass a lamp inspection. Lol, to my surprise each headlight is about 700 for aftermarket ones. I was wondering if:

A.. I can borrow some ones for about an hour.

Or b.. Any one can point me to the right direction of headlights for really cheap.

Or even c.. Is there a retrofit to put halogen headlights on and take out the factory hid.

I have the factory hid headlights with amber turn signal is that means anything. Thanks everyone for your help!!

I like the idea of the borrowed headlight - but - for a real solution - I would suggest a repair.

The stock BMW headlights were pretty good at the factory - but like many things BMW - they deteriorate at an alarming rate - due to the materials used.

If I assume your headlight is working - but not aimed properly ... I suggest:
a) Polish the headlight lens (optional)
b) Replace the broken PBT plastic adjuster (mandatory)
