E60 Pre-Lci Xenon to LCI Headlights
#1
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi all, I was wondering if someone can help me with this conversion.
I had a little fender bender recently which has resulted in a smashed headlight on the drivers side (UK). Unfortunately I am finding it hard to find a light for the the right price. I have Pre-lci xenons and have found lci halogen headlights (unfortunately LCI xenon is proving to be like searching for gold-dust) which I was hoping that I can cure the xenon problem by fitting a HID kit in them.
Is the feasible? Would I see any errors on the car? I have found a way to wire the eyebrows and angels with no problems. But my question is, will the car throw up errors in regard to the leveling function? also does anyone have the method to fully wire these up correctly, I may have to get the retrofit plug kit, or may have the chopped loom from the lci halogen headlights.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Car is currently in bodyshop hoping to be completed later today, but wont be driving it until headlight problem is sorted.
Thanks in advance

thanks for the offer and details jas_r_1 I appreciate it, but unfortunately I am going to have to give those lights a miss. If you would like to give me a call, i may be able to sort these lights out for your own car with some trickery so that you do not get any errors.
thanks again.
now to anyone, any more responses to the original question?
