Anybody experience retrofiting Pre-LCI Halogen to LCI Halogen?

Are the sockets the same between pre LCI and LCI?
Any error on idrive?

Thanks

Sockets are different but I'm sure an adaptor cable can be made

I am pretty sure going from pre-LCI headlights to LCI headlights is darn near impossible. Many members have tried this with no avail.

One thing to point out though, is that the original poster is asking about halogen to halogen, something that is a bit on the odd side, lol.

I think that most people go from halogen to xenon if they are retro-fitting.
