halogen to halogen no need for reprogram. just get the retrofit cables and ur set. If there's an error message, most likely angel eye problem and u can wire in a resistor to fix the problem.
Afterwards, dont forget to get the HID/xenon upgrade for the low beams to complete it

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.
There are 2 blocks on the reverse of the pre lci and only one on the lci so not sure which wires go to where and would love some help please if at all possible as I tried BMW and got the Royal we do not offer this service of fitting or help response.
PLEASE NEED URGENT HELP!!!!!!!

Looks like you'll have to get the wiring diagram for both and also trace out your wires. I'm sure there is info on here about that if you look hard enough. I'd help you out but i don't take a liking to hi-jacked threads.

My Ride: 2006 520d - 19" 172s- Remapped - LCI taillights V6 cables - LCI xenon headlights - Denison 500 with BTA1500 - led interior lights - OEM led number plate lights
Planned mods:
Folding mirrors - Modmynav kit - High gloss shadowline trim -
What about the rear lights - do they also need to be retrofitted with this cable set from BMW or can we just do the headlights?

Use resistor or the old W5W bulb into where the old halo ring just to shut the error ...
Each pin 4 & 5 from the left side expecting 'bout 40ohm individually.
'cuz pre-LCI uses 2 bulbs and LCI uses only 1 so iDrive complaint.
Mine done w/o programming and Halogen -> Xenon ... so ... a mistake ... no ... just not done properly ...
Try experiment w/ 50ohm resistor etc. just be careful of the heat when using resistor.
