The only time the LCM would have an issue with power is if you did Pre-LCI to LCI Xenon. The LCI Xenon uses a 35w high beam bulb vs all other lights use a 55w high beam bulb. Are you sure you have the correct bulb in the high beam?

Hi B6s4 i did the pre-LCI Xenon AHL to LCI Xenon AHL the lights came out of a 2008 LCI E60 with all bulbs and packs in there, so all original

Ah, I see it now. You're talking about that gaping hole into the shroud for the high beam, correct?

Lol i doubt you will run into any problems.... Btw the angel eyes are completely different to what happened to my lights.

Basicly the flashers(high beam) melted my inner reflectors when left on for too long, because the bulb was not regulated by the LCM and was cranked up to full power

I don't think it has to do w/ the the LCM & voltage regulation ... the inner reflector is NOT design to be a hi-beam (take a look the beam pattern) it was design to be a a cornering light ... the frosted lens made it shine the surrounding as oppose far distance and the compartment inside is really tight space so the heat from the H3 bulb quickly heat up the small space and melt the plastic ...

AFAIK LCI do NOT have separate hi-beam it uses the main beam (there's a flap inside) = Bi-Xenon..

waow, thats weird, when i flash someone the inners (reflective) work, and when i use the hi beam they stay on and also the bi xenons kick in.......


so r u saying that my flashers should ONLY be the xenons??? nothing else???
