I checked the part numbers from my dealer before I posted

first one is 2005 non xenons.(63.12.0.309.425)
63.12.0.309.427 is correct part number for 2005 xenon retrofit kit for the cars that built btw 09/03 and 07/04.(Probably it is right also for you,but need new ZKE)
Second and fourth ones were not recognized by my dealers system.
as mentioned you've to replace your ZKE,but I don't know its part number or price.

Hi,

Does this kit include the head light washers? Are the 05 washers the same part number as 04 washers? Cheers.

I do not believe that this kit is legal in the USA, Canada or UK as it does not contain self-leveling mechanism or washers. These are required by the governmental agencies. Make sure that you check with someone knowledgable before you purchase anything.
