Just a quick list ... You'll need to put a capacitor (or error canceler), adding a ground wire then use resistor on the AE.
If you search around you'll find extensive threads about it. I kinda leap over from pre-LCI halogen ->all the way-> LCI Bi-Xenon

Congrats OP!!!

Also got the M5 cluster mod. I am in love with my car again

I do have my old pre-lci adaptive xenon headlights in case someone wants to buy it. I will let it go for $150 shipped for both. both lights were keyed, so u have a single line across the headlights. They both have repaired mounting tab. Fully functional, doesnt not come with ballast or ahl module. I can include the module for $60 for both and I only have one fully functional ballast i can let that go for $40

I can sell u the whole kit (missing one ballast) for $$220 shipped.

Attachment 127679



i will include some more pictures, but got few more surprises
Ahahaha, we finally got it done, didn't we? I have to thank Jack (cwest) for helping me out over the phone with one of the side regarding the LCI tails wiring. For some reason, Sachal's wiring was different than Jack's and Georgieb's. Could've nearly cut down the install time to half if not for figuring out each individual wire on both sides.

Awsome work Simon again. I'm glad I could be part of that help in any way.

Sachal it's about time buddy and another Mystic blue E60 in the Bay area. I'm glad you jumped on the boat finally and got the LCI conversion done. I would have to admit it's like night and day with those headlights. Now I need to go back to Simon and get my mirror programmed and I want the clear lens and the auto lights with key Fob. Dang you Simon in more mods on my wish list

Thanks Jack,
Simon didnt tell me he had to call you to figure out the wiring, but thank you bud for all the help. Simon definitely knows his stuff, to bad liking simon too much can burn a hole in your pocket

but next mod is definitely some nice forged wheels and tints.

You would think it's that simple. I had documentation and wiring diagrams in front of me, and previous documented experience as well. But alas, evidently BMW's documentation can't be entirely trusted.
