so are there 2 bulbs for the angel eyes on each side? that would explain his issue if they are on seperate circuits.

Yes, on pre-LCI halogen each HL has its own small 5w bulb tucked on the top of the main & hi-beam round reflector.

In regards to "adding LCI to the FA"... I don't see a code option for LCI Halogens, just the code $522 for Xenons...? Anyone know of a code for LCI halogens?

To add LCI to the FA you add "+MUEB", and update the vehicle manufacture date.

Thanks GeorgieB!!

I will also still disable the cold/warm bulb checks:

FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_SL_V_R

Now I just have to make sure I locate the correct software for my LM and I should be set.

I have v45 daten, just need to clarify which file is for my LM

Do you have LM2? AFAIK that apply for LM2 which started to appear mid-2006 build for '07 models ... and also need LCI tails with OEM retrofit wiring as it'll change some function of the pins on the LM to be used in conjunction of LCI tail & Xenon head lights.

Yeah my car has the LM not a LM2. I've read all about doing the full LCI lights retrofit and the Xenon head lights, you are definitely correct about that... All I read about people doing the LCI halogen swap with the LM(not LM2), everyone gets the Parking Lamp Malfunction errors that they can only seem to get to go away by using resistors. I would rather not use resistors if possible, and rather solve this with coding. But, it has been hard to get solid information on how to code the LM to accept the new head lights. At first I though just coding out the bulb checks would work, but I've read that doing that alone will not solve the problem. What I have learned with all my searching and reading is that you also have to add LCI to the FA (simple enough) and update the software on the LM(still reading up on), which should accept the new headlights.

Also, I cant get straight answers from people on other forums/sites about this because they want to charge me $$ to do it for me. This site, and you guys have been the biggest help so far.

I did LCI Bi-Xenon headlight retrofitted from pre-LCI halogen and at the beginning did the hack way like you did using just cable (except I didn't use adapter plug but full plug conversion) and I have no parking light error problem.

I combined both AE light on each headlight and in my case I feed it to a relay to satisfy the load ... you should combine them and feed it to the new LCI AE as the LCI AE uses 10w it should be able to satisfy the pre-LCI 5w. The reason I'm using relay 'cuz I have to drive the new 35w H8 AE bulb on the LCI Xenon and when LM expecting 5-10w of load to drive 35w I got problem.

Even w/ LM2 if you don't do full conversion turning +MUEB will probably get rid off your front parking light error but you'll get tail lights error ... IRC I remember to power the LED rod on the tails it needs a pin on the LM that use to drive one of the bulb on the headlight.
