I'm not 100% sure but with that conversion kit you would need both the headlights and taillights for it to work.. i know i read it somewhere on the fourms.. hope this helps

Bruce may be a little more expensive, but this thing looks like a nighmare and a mess to work with. Bruce's cables come perfectly sized, perfect connectors, and they just work. Personally, I wouldn't touch this thing after just installing Bruce's cables myself. I think my wife, who has never touched a car except the steering wheel, could have installed this for me...really. Go with Bruce, you will not be dissappointed. Good luck!

Bruce never came out with a "Headlight" retrofit cable.

This kit is for the OEM LCI headlights and Taillights.

You would needs the headlights and taillights and install all this. Once that is done, bring it to the dealer and program the new headlight and taillights.

a lot of money to retrofit this but its great.

and new LCM too.

This is the OEM retrofit for the lights and its the one I recommend to people should they want to do both the headlights and the taillights. You cannot do only one.

hi

Bruce is absolutly correct here ! , its for a total upgrade to OEM BMW E60/61 LCI lights ( front & rear ) , and as mentioend the LM ( Light Modul ) will have to be changed and coded to ( I know , I done it ) , it is the "expensiv" way to do it , but it looks great

Regards

You sure you got OEM lci taillights for $225? for that price i think you just got some aftermarket led taillights.
