Still waiting on parts.
Havent tested the two lights at the same time, but probabely (from what i read on other threads) i will have to build in a resistor.
I wil use MTEC v2.1 for my angel eyes.
Only have weekend-time to spare, so it will go slooooooowly.

+1 ... it's more of plug-'n-pray ...
Since the AE for LCI Halogen uses special bulb but on the LCI Xenon it uses standard H8 bulb instead that's why easy to fit HID bulb...

Yup ... exactly the same as far as wiring mod w/ some additional stuff ... that's how I did it on mine ... pre-LCI Halogen -> LCI Bi-Xenon.
But goin' to LCI Bi-Xenon cost a lot more as far as the headlight itself which maybe the reason why OP choose this route.

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 -
Good luck - at worse it won't work or you'll get errors!
How long does the cable take to make?
I got my fingers crossed as I want it to work so I can get the same LCI halogen lights
