LCI headlights look much better. What functions are not working and you have to reflash LCM?

Isn't the LCI uses either 35w or 55w H8 bulb for the AE on either Xenon or non-Xenon headlight?

Have you tried to use a 10W bulb for the angel eyes?

actually besides the errors, the corner lights work the headlights obviously work, but the angel eyes w/ the headlights on are much more dim. we didnt take a pic of just the angel eyes, but theyre much brighter on as day time lights. im in the process of scheduling time w service for the flash. we didnt change the lcm b/c all the upgraded lcm(9/06) were for xenon none mentioned str8 halogen-halogen. the H8bulb as i was told by eric is stil not able to be used, so hes trying to figure out what to do next

I believe the H8 bulbs are for LCI xenon headlights only...
