While you're at it, give us more information on what parts you're dealing with. A part number for the headlight maybe? What kind of lights (or part number) did your car come with?
Photos would also be a plus if possible...

After reading the experiences of others on this forum, I can only say that this seems to be a tricky do-it-yourself project. It seems that BMW does offers retrofit "kits" for adaptive lights (as well as for Xenon lights) but I'm pretty sure without help from a dealership and it's programming equipment, you might have some problems. At the very least, the following information can help you out with the switch but you might still get a warning about a headlamp malfunction without installing a resistor or the dealer reprogramming something. As far as the adaptive (moving) feature of the lights, I can't see how simply bolting on a set of adaptive lights will magically work. I would think there would need to be some additional steering sensors, etc. to interface with the light assembly.
To make matters more complex, all of this may be different for a car in China.
Either way, read the following two threads (the first thread contains a link to the second one) and search the forums some to see what you're getting into:

Good luck, welcome, and keep us posted!
