kerrh17 - just wondering....so you got the LCI halogen headlights and then put an aftermarket HID kit into it? I guess now it looks the same as OEM pre-LCI xenon? I have a pre-LCI halogen and wondering if this is the easiet way to get the OEM look. Is your way more simple than getting the OEM pre-LCI xenon or LCI xenon headlight?

Yeah I thought for the thing when I upgrade mine (but I did pre-LCI halogen to LCI Bi-Xenon) but unfortunately you have to cut off the plug and install new pin on each of at least 8 wire and feed each wire into a new plug per side using BMW retrofit kit. So more of plug-'n-pray ... as not exactly ready to go adapter.

This would be a very popular DIY, there are quite a few of us with pre-LCI Halogen who would like the Xenon projector setup, especially with the LCI eyebrows.

Hi there can anyone help I have 530d 2004 and just brought some lci headlight projector halogens to upgrade my pre lci reflector and got the retro kit from BMW but have hit a problem.

You need to buy the retrofit cable kit (it has the new LCI plug w/ the connectors and also wiring for the tail lights) and along w/ that there's a printed manual but the PDF is available online here in the forum ... use the search ...
You need to combine those to 8+4 ping pre-LCI connectors into the new 12 pin LCI plug from the retrofit kit ... the manual will have info the function & which pin goes where.
Retrofit p/n 61-12-0-432-110
GL!

How about a DIY???
The BMW instructions don't seem that straight forward.
