Hi,

Bought LCI headlights for my ride. These basic halogens, because my car is basic Finnish model no xenon.

So lights plug is different. And my question is:

Is there "retrofit" cable, so that install would "BOLT-ON"
or
Do i need to cut all cables, and try find right ones?

Anyone? Bruce?

No coding needed, you need to build the plug and play harness from BMW OEM parts, all part numbers are there.
