Great post to Pre-LCI to LCI Headlight - i need to help
My car is BMW E60 12/2003 whit Bi-Xenon
I already bought LCI Adaptive Bi-Xenons , Control Unit Xenon Light "ballast" , Lamp Holders "ring clips" , Xenon Bulbs D1S w/ Ignition Element , LCI retrofit cable set .
I don't have Electronics box ALC and LM2.
My rear lights are now LCI whit Bruce Miranda V6 cables.
I Have CIC Retrofit - in which I have daytime running lights - work.

?y questions are:

- Can I connect via cable headlights without cutting jacks using LCI retrofit cable set and return to the old jack connectors.
Pre-LCI to LCI Lights - What to look out for during the install-untitled.jpg
as this cable ?..
What do I need to order to make them if I have LCI retrofit cable set?how to connect?

- I will work my headlights if not installed Electronics box ALC and LM2 (I do not keep the adaptive lights and features offered by LM2 - just like the normal operation of the headlights).

- If you must use it LM2 can you benefit from another car after 2007. If you can identify it PN at seen?

- Should I update software of the car (I prefer not to do - I remap the ECU)

Do you know whether this is possible?

Many Thanks

Technically, yes, this is possible. You just won't have cornering lights. And in theory, your adaptives should continue to function normally as well.
