Hello.

I received some pictures from my buyer.
He purchased LCI head and tail, and finished full retrofit process.

Looks very good, but he told me he wouldn't recommend this job to anyone.
I asked process in detail, but actually BMW techinician finished the job so he doesn't know well about.

Is there any one who knows this retrofit process in detail????

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

B.T.W. he took really good pictures.

What kind of question do you have. I have recently done this for a 2003, and it wasn't bad at all.

Granted I have all the right equipment to do it, so that's a little different story.

4 hours for head and tail?
Or just head?

To upgrade to LCI tail, I heard Headlight retrofit is necessary.
(If we don't use Bruce cable)

Then, for headlight, is tail retrofit required?

Thank you for your answers in advance.
