Hi guys

I'd like to change my pre LCI headlights with LCI halogen headlight but i can't because my manual no corresponding with color cables.

Is anyone on the forum already do this transformation.

Here is the color of my cables pre LCI and on the right color cables of my manual
First connector 8 pin: X13420
1 X // brown to pin 2 of 12 pin socket but i don't have this cable
2: yellow / green // yellow/green to pin 3
3: White / Green // white/green to pin 6
4 gray / green // grey/green to pin 1
5 white / red // bleu to pin 5
6 blue / green // bleu/green to pin 12
7 Brown // brown to pin 4
8 Yellow / black // yellow/ black to pin 7

Two 4-pin socket: X10608
1 blue / brown // brown to pin 11
2 yellow / brown // black/green to pin 9
3 blue / red // bleu/black to pin 10
4 Yellow / red // X to pin 8 ? this cable don't exist in the manual

thank you in advance for your help

 

This is a picture of the problem



How ?

 

I found the solution

 

Yeah I did similar conversion but from pre-LCI halogen to LCI Xenon ... and the manual diagram on your second post is for the Xenon.

 

How ?
encoding with BMW ?
new light module ?

 

Up

 

How? Wire by wire conversion just like you did ... except instead of using LCI Halogen headlight I went w/ LCI Bi-Xenon non-Adaptive headlight.
encoding with BMW ? Nope, didn't have to ... I just use the regular capacitor for error canceler on the main beam commonly use by Halogen -> Xenon conversion.
new light module? Nope, but my car build is 10/06 so I already using the current LCM.

The result = http://forums.5serie...-my-headlights/
The obvious reason I went straight to Xenon LCI is the light output & the bright halo rings

GL!
