Thats exacly what i have, you wont need a new LCM because your car was built after 03-05. You also not gonna need Bruce cables. The OEM retrofit cables is all you need.

If this set of headlights was priced around $800-1000 it would be an awesome deal http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Thanks Nelson,
I'll begin the "dredging" process on eBay to find these light fixtures at the right price. As best I can tell the Hella part numbers for the LCI bi-Xenon, Adaptive lens with dual projectors are Europe 1EL-009-449-011 and 1EL-009-449-021 or USA 009449051 and 009449061. The BMW Cable retrofit kit is # 61 12 0 432 110.

Sas,
In another of your posts you mentioned ordering Hella European fixtures 1EL-009-449-011 and 1EL-009-449-021 and you stated a discrepancy between what you bought based on the pics in the brochure and what you received. Can you calirfy if these part numbers represent the correct light fixture or did Hella have an error in their brochure?

I guess what I'm getting at is, do you know what the correct part numbers are for the Hella lights and what the BMW part numbers are for the same light fixtures? I want to ensure that I buy the bi-Xenon fixtures with dual projectors. Thanks!

There is no dual projector on LCI ... the inner smaller round lens is just cosmetic ... there is no more hi-beam reflector.

However there are 2 kind of LCI Bi-Xenon, the picture you got (w/ a darker inner smaller round that looked like a reflector) is a non-AHL (Adaptive) version, while the Adaptive version has a frosted inner smaller lens that also function as a cornering light.

The non-AHL is not available for US market since all US market uses Adaptive Bi-Xenon. I'm using the non-AHL (like your pic above) version but I got my light from Europe and retrofit it in place of my std Halogen.

Rival,
Thanks for the great explanation. So I would be looking at:

LCI Xenon headlight pair(LH/RH) with Adaptive control

BMW Part Number US:
63 12 7 045 695 (LH)
63 12 7 045 696 (RH)

BMW Part Number EURO:
63 12 7 045 691 (LH)
63 12 7 045 692 (RH)

(I/m not sure what the Hella #s are but I grabbed these from a post on eBay.
1ZS 169009-111 (LH: Driver side)
1ZS 169009-121 (RH: Passenger side)

Georgieb

Crap, was my previous post only for Xenons. Is there a difference for Bi-Xenons? I'm trying to hunt down part numbers now.

Georgieb

Yes, Thankfully the part numbers and second image I posted earlier is for the BMW 5 Series E60 E61 LCI (April 2007~2010) Bi-XENON Headlight/Lamp PAIR (Left & Right)with AHL Adaptive Control.

BMW Part Number US:
63 12 7 045 695 (LH)

hi georgieb thats the ones ive purchased and fitted to the car, its the xenons with the frosted glass, i originally have the xenons adaptive headlights when i had the pre lci lights in the car, i then spliced the wires and followed the pdf update retrofit guide and fitted the new lci,

everything works accept the side lights (angels) i get a parking error then it shuts down, and leaves me with the xenons on and the orange leds. indicator works, and my adaptive features no longer works, BUT i dont get that flashing green light to tell me it isnt working Wierd
