i still think most ppl will just buy pre made ones (like me LOL) even though iv got a degree in electrical engineering i cant be assed to buy all the parts and make them lol
deffo agree they can be made very cheaply (noticed this when i took apart my bruice ones) put the high cost down to development time though

Yes, the solution is (as most solutions) fairly simple once you have it. Here are a couple of pictures of the adapter. On the soldering side you can see the three small transzorbs and also the two surface mount pmoses.

Please neglect the weird cooling solution I have on the right hand side. I replaced the small transistors later with to220-style-ones (the ones that are in the schematic I think) that were easier to apply heat sinks to.

I'm also attaching somebody elses sketch of how the wirings go in the lci lights (to help connecting the right outputs to the right places).

I don't remember the part number of the BMW cable kit but it's somewhere on this forum and shouldn't cost more than around ? 25.
Last but not least, I'm attaching the pdf of the etching pattern for the people who the correct gear to do the etching.

Can I ask a stupid question here?
Anyone succeeded put together one set? Any pictures ?
I would like to make one set myself but.... don't really know how even those I had read this 4 , 5 times
