Nice work! Can you post more info/pics on how you accomplished the install/retrofit? Thanks!
i don't have pictures whit instalation,to retrofit i use car ORIGINAL light computer,only problem was whit angel eyes

old headlight use or angeleyes a 10w light,this new use a H8 at 35w,and computer after 10 sec automat cut the power for this light,but ...i have m5 bumper oon my car ,and no fog light ,and use pover from that fogliht.

now ,to start that angel eyes i must press foglight button(exist other way to do that ,whit 2 relays)whidaught use foglight cables,for user that have standard and M bumper)

NO COMPUTER CHANGE
NO CAR CODING
ONLY 10 HOURS OF LAB
ONLY WHIRING CHANGE


i repeat, i update from bi-xenon adaptive,to bi-xenon adaptive

ALL WORKING

if someone need whiring mods ,please buzz

V120sas, nice you can improvise and get it to work on your car. about the angel eyes problem a member here says same thing. it can not support the h8 bulb for a period of time and then shuts off. To get it OEM, programming and light module has to done unless there is a way to wire the angel eyes.

Hello Andy, depending on your car year. If you don't have D1S bulb on your car, you need:

1. The control unit ( for xenon bulb w/ ignition element D1S).
2. Bulb xenon light w/ignition element
3. Lamp holder (to hold xenon bulb in place)

The AHC can be reused I believe.

Great work, congrats!

You don't have corner lights and ambience lights function, am I right?

When I run my retrofit attempt I stopped with the angel eyes issue. Your solution with the fog light wiring was great but I didn't have it in my M5.

Maybe I still need the LCM to get it fully working with all LCI functions.

I just received the wiring package last week.

That's ingenious! Kudos for figuring that one out. Keep us updated if you figure out another way to get power to the angle eyes.

And I know English is not your first language, but just wanted to help you out with your spelling. whidaught = without
