Glad you were able to figure it out Ryan cause I wouldn't want you to "swap" them for mine when I'm not looking. HAHAHA

They look sweet btw. People used to think I was crazy for spending that much on headlights just to get rid of the amber corners but man, I personally think they make a huge difference and clean up the look of the car.

Congrats!

Good thing you forget to attach the ALC to the headlight. I was curious about the purpose of the ALC--now we all know what happens to the headlights when the ALC is missing or defective. The other day was looking at the Electronic Box ALC part...it says "uncoded". If a person buy new one, does it need to be coded?

I'm guessing the coding is needed to control the LHD or RHD features of the adaptive lights. We know they behave differently when parked.

Thanks for everyone's help and words of encouragement. I couldn't sleep without figuring that shit out. Haha.

Haha... I need to join the quad exhaust club and get some M5 mirros before I can look like your twin.
BTW, there's also another guy on the forum with an Alpine White E60 and VS-XX's with black centers like mine.

Dude, I took out my headlights so many times yesterday I'm a pro now. I'd jack yo shit hella quick! Hahaha. Although my hands are sore as hell and all cut up from installing them damn AiB's. I had to shave the nobs down a little because it was too tight of a fit.

They make your car look worse, but just your car. Everyone else's car looks great.

Garry shipped it? ohh that means I should get mine soon.

Any word on those guys from e90 post with the fix for error message thing?


I already have the resistors... can I just plug them in?


As for the white Corner lamp offset LED's... I have yet to see anyone who has it.


Remember my post with my LED turn signals... I just hope its white LED, when someone finally finds the bulbs.

The E90 guy is testing the adapter right now. He hasn't done much night driving so he can't say for sure yet, but it looks promising. If all goes well, we won't need a resistor using his adapter.
You should e-mail Garry and double check he's sending you the correct parts because the original part #'s for the wiring and stuff were wrong, but he reordered the correct parts for me and shipped them out on Friday.

PM JLevi. I'm pretty sure they sell the offset white LED's.
