OK Finally made my new wiring looms for my Pre LCI Halogens to LCI Halogens, there is one problem i have found for anyone doing this like me in the UK the wiring plug is different and the pins don't line up so I am working on a re wire using a UK plug.
Have to say a big thank you to Sas for the info and to be honest he is offering a really good deal on the loom he is making believe me.
will post some pic when I re wire loom for UK plug.

My Ride: 2006 520d - 19" 172s- Remapped - LCI taillights V6 cables - LCI xenon headlights - Denison 500 with BTA1500 - led interior lights - OEM led number plate lights
Planned mods:
Folding mirrors - Modmynav kit - High gloss shadowline trim -
I've got the the cables from Sas but haven't had a chance to fit them yet.
It will probably be fitted over the weekend and will post results.
It would be good to know which plug is different - also post some pictures of them working

Hi Guys sorry forgot to say what plugs are wrong the Blue 8 pin is wrong its handed wrong for the UK Pre LCI plug i will post some pictures i have found the correct plug and will be re wiring it tonight so i will keep you posted.
What i can tell you is i took the blue 8 pin off and temporarily wired the pins into my loom on the car and Sas wiring works all functions of the LCI light work with no errors.

Ok i hope the picture makes sense the blue 8 pin plug has the pins removed but here you have the 2 plugs, Black one is my original Headlight loom plug, blue is the plug which is on one end of the new LCI loom.
the 2 faces of the connectors shown are the sides that will connect together if you look at the pins when the blue is turned and connected to the black the pin hole do not line up, and will not even line up if the pins are removed and relocated.
