Great post to Pre-LCI to LCI Headlight - i need to help 
My car is BMW E60 12/2003 whit Bi-Xenon
I already bought LCI Adaptive Bi-Xenons , Control Unit Xenon Light "ballast" , Lamp Holders "ring clips" , Xenon Bulbs D1S w/ Ignition Element , LCI retrofit cable set .
I don't have Electronics box ALC and LM2.
My rear lights are now LCI whit Bruce Miranda V6 cables.
I Have CIC Retrofit - in which I have daytime running lights - work.
?y questions are:
- Can I connect via cable headlights without cutting jacks using LCI retrofit cable set and return to the old jack connectors.
as this cable ?..
What do I need to order to make them if I have LCI retrofit cable set?how to connect?
- I will work my headlights if not installed Electronics box ALC and LM2 (I do not keep the adaptive lights and features offered by LM2 - just like the normal operation of the headlights).
- If you must use it LM2 can you benefit from another car after 2007. If you can identify it PN at seen?
- Should I update software of the car (I prefer not to do - I remap the ECU)
Do you know whether this is possible?
Many Thanks
