Default Plug and play harness LCI headlights

Hi.

Im looking to replace my headlights after doing the eugene mod on my pre-lci headlights, they got messed up so i have to buy a new set.

I'm going to get the LCI headlights cus they're cheaper than pre-lci in my case.

Tried to find the plug and play harness but not succeded yet.

Can anyone provid a link or is someone on forum selling them?

If not i have to wire my own harness but checking in first.

Thanks

If your lights are xenon, there's no documented plug and play harness -- though in theory I can make one.

Best bet is just to remake the harness yourself, actually much cheaper that way.

Thanks guys.. Yes mine are xenon headlights (E60 without xenon LOL )

But OK.. I was just checking in cus i saw some guy that sold his LCI headlights here in swe with plug and play harness but i guess that was custom in that case. I got these LCI headlight CHEAP, wow cheap with D1S and ballast, complete set.

Yes, i will make them myself then.

Thanks again.

Another thought...

I know LM2 provides DRL light during daytime in AE factory setting.. My existing headlights has the high beam as DRL (coded) and it works fine. I also installed two relays on each side, one switching type and one regular. It makes the DRL go off when switching to AE (position light).

Im figuring how to wire it to get the proper DRL (AE) to my new xenon LCI headlights with LM1 becuse LM1 don't have that feature, DRL in AE.

Anyone done it like my decription?

I got the headlights yesterday and i put some 12v dc on them just to see how they looked. The AE (DRL) looked really bright (H8) with 12V on them, usually i never seen them that bright before on other cars.

Does anybody know if they are dimmed from lm2 when driving in auto and Daylight? (DRL) like lm1 but in high beam?

I did som wiring today and everything works exept the vertical aim control LWR. LMA throws error in inpa.

I followed this pinout on both sides (4 wires/headlight) but could it be the pinout from LM2 (i have still LM1 mounted) is different than LM1? If yes, can anyone show me correct pinouts from LM1 of the vertical aim control?

And i must say its hard to get the LCI headlights fit properly.

And i did not have the time to wire 12V ignition directly to DRL (AE) from 12v cigarette plug.. Its fkn narrow in there where LM is placed.. And there are not enought wire to get the LM connector out to remove angel eyes pins..
