Just wondering if I would like to change my pre-lci halogens to lci halogens do I still need a new LCM also?
And the cable pinout is different for the LCI angel eyes right?

Thanks Blood. I assume coding will also be needed since putting in new LCM?

Any module change requires the module to be coded according to your vehicle order. Retrofits will need the SA code adding to you Vehicle order so that the new functions become default.

This thread here contains some conflicting info to the above: https://5series.net/forums/topic/974...1#entry1156846
Says that pre-LCI halogens to LCI halogens lights work with no LCM replacement, except for different wiring for the halo rings, which I'm sure it can be coded to be ignored.
Is that for real? Sounds too good to be true.
