sure, try to search for answer (I dont know it, just know that it exist). You will need to switch some PIN's I think + I'm affraid you will need also new lightning module. But better to be answered by someone else who actually did that

Easiest way is:
- Make retrofit cable. If you cannot make it then ask a forum member here to make you one....I bought one from a forum member here and he was kind enough to make me one.
- You cannot buy retorfit cable from BMW..I've tried that....they don't have it...and if they do, they'll charge you a ridiculous figure.
- You'll need aftermarket HIDs...make sure you get the correct bulb type...you won't have to recode the car or anything like that.
- Change you angel eye bulb to 10W leds...make sure you get the correct bulb type.
