so i was thinking of installing lci headlights in my car. i curently have xenon adaptive lights and want to go to the same in the lci version. i already have lci tails.
so from what i've read, i need the bmw wiring harness and headlights. can i swap the adaptive modules and ballast and bulbs from the old to new lights, or am i better off buying complete light assemblies?
my car was built 11/05, so i can use the same light control module(LCM) from what i've read, right? any difference with later versions of the LCM?
then i have to have someone program the lights. am i missing anything?
will my lights function exactly like the lci cars then?

And you read wrong about the LM. You need a LM2, you have 1.
After all's installed correctly and coded, then it'll behave like LCIs.

The modules some people have had success swapping over, but others have reported needing to get new ones. Hasn't been a clear answer as to why as far as I know.
