Would anyone with US Spec AHL lights be willing to upload or email me copies of your right and left Stepper Motor Controller FSW's? You can find them under LMA, should be 3 to 4KB each.
Has anyone ever coded these modules in an LCI light conversion or replacement?
Thank you very much!

What I have learned so far...
New SMC modules do not know just by installing and coding if they are left or right so you have to tell them. By default they will both act light right headlight modules, so it the the left (driver side) that needs special treatment.
You need to ground PIN 12 on the LEFT headlight harness during coding - this is simple - and just go into NCS and load/execute SG_CODIEREN under the 2LSMC ECU in LMA to get it to know it's orientation. This does not solve the fact that the lights do not know their limits when turning with the steering wheel - but now I no longer have the driver side going all the way left when I turn the wheel all the way right. It stops at 0 degrees. The driver side is supposed to have 8 degrees of motion and the passenger 15 - right now my SMC modules are not aware of these legal limitations and just go as far as they are mechanically able to.
The FSW_PSW form an LCI with AHL will really help me speed this process up - but if I cannot find them I will just figure it out one step at a time and post here.
Thanks!

Hello I'm new at coding with NCS any help will be appreciated thank you.
Currently having this issue
Have LCI headlights belong to another vehicle and currently have these on mind which is a Pre-Lci vehicle E90 08
no errors on the dash AHL added on my VO from factory
when I use AHL and move the steering wheel to the right both Headlight Beams go to the middle.
and When I turn the steering wheel to the left Headlight Beams go to the sides.
sublime posted "Just code the left and right SMC with either a blank .MAN file or process them in expertmode."
will this resolve my issue ??? since AHL is already added to my VO but maybe the LSMC and RSMC need to be code still.
thanks in advance.
