I have a euro spec non-AHL LCI and looking into getting AHL LCI. Would this be pretty much be plug-n-play with some coding to enable AHL? I have found tons of info on pre-LCI to LCI retrofit but since I am on LCI not sure what would be needed to get AHL working other then a little coding.

Thanks for any info!

If your car didn't come with adaptives, I am pretty sure you need to install the leveling sensor that goes in the rear of the car as well.

If your car came w/ Xenon those self-leveling sensor are most likely already in place ... it's one of those requirement thing like headlight washer cleaning.

i've done it. You need to change the LIGHT MODULE to the AHL one and change the headlights. Then there is some coding + wiring to be done. Not a very easy process, but totally doable Good luck!

Thanks for the info guys.

Was this for an LCI to LCI change? Is the light module for AHL different on LM2?
