Hi Robert,
I am trying to change headlight and taillights to LCI.
I think I am getting exactly the same situation. with MFG date #0306, I added +MUEB to it and default coded LM2, still throw me a lot of tail light error (no error for headlights).

I also try changed to #0909 and situation is the same. Any suggestion?

Thanks

 

I retrofit the LM2 + Head and tail lights with the BMW wiring harness.

I have yet able to code the car but now I lose my driver headlight and angel eye. The control switch doesnt work and that tailights are on all the time with the car.

My mfg date is 0905. Will all these issues go with the coding?

 

i have pre lci e60 and change front headlights and* rear to lci and change Lm1 to Lm2 , the angel eyes switched off and I try everyyhing still off ,I read I must be add vo +mueb on cas and Lm2 and it will work ,is it wright or there is something els ??

Hello everyone, srry for bringing this thread back, but I have LM2 coded to my car currently with LCI tail lights.

i kept the pre LCI headlights, and everything is working fine.

question I have is now I want to do the LCI headlights. Would this be a direct swap after pinning the new plug ? - or would I have to code the headlights also ?

 

can i use the same file to code my car?

 

Hello all how is everyone doing? I have been trying to retrofit some LCI tail lights on my 2007 e60 for over a year now (car has just been sitting in my garage) with no luck. I've read hundreds of threads asked questions, sent private messages and nobody has been able to help me thus far. I came across this thread 2 days ago and although it is not specifically what I'm trying to accomplish it seem to have answered some questions I had but still I an unable to get these lights working correctly (without errors).

Vehicle: 2007 530i
LM2 equipped

What I've done:
Purchased LCI tail lights.
Purchased Retrofit cables
Installed cables routing them to the front of the car and connected to the LM2, connected the pins as directed (can't remember where I got the pin information from it's been a while since I did this)
Installed lights swapping pins 2 and 6 (removed pin 2 placed it in slot 6 and vise versa)
Added +MUEB to VO thanks to the information found in this thread.
Deactivated a bunch of cold checking using NCSExpert (TRC file included just change the extension to .TRC)

Results:
with foot off brake only the small circle (inner part of light) lights are on:
With foot on brake small circle lights are OFF everything else on.
4 errors in iDrive all regarding rear lights left and right.


Can someone please help me. I would really like to drive my car again without having to worry about the status of my tail lights, if they are working or not.

 

Hold on you moved the pins and used a retrofit cable. It's either one or the other from my understanding
