Hi all, I'm new here so i know this questions may have been answered before but for the life of me i can't find any answers. I Have a 2005 Pre LCI E60. I have just managed to acquire a set of LCI halogen headlights for the cheap sum of £50. What i would like to know is how do i go about installing these headlights. I have seen a plug on ebay and the guy says its just a plug and play swap but he asking a whopping £160 for this. Is there a cheeper way i can do this buy splicing wires and joining them to make my own connections, i don't mind chopping into looms as I'm planning on keeping the car and if i do get rid of it the lights will be going with. Thanks

 

Do some searching here on the forum. Member SAS made a adapter.

 

That price isn't that unreasonable actually. If you were to buy the parts required to make your own harness, here in the states, it comes out to excess of $150. For the extra two cables you guys have for the pre-LCI halogens, it probably comes out to closer to $180.

So you're basically paying the guy $80 for his expertise and labor. Pretty fair deal to me.

 

I did this link few weeks ago for my adaptive bi xenon headlights and with my 10% discount I have paid about £140 only for those parts.

If you lucky enough and just want cable patching (soldering - or whatever) you can buy only LCI connectors with some cables between £20-40 from ebay and play with it.

 

simon, your pm box is full.

have a quick question about the retrofit cable you made for me
