I guess the OP should be more specific about the non-Adaptive feature.
It's a non-AHL version hence you don't see the AHL module under it & in pic #3 there's no "BMW Adaptive..." wording around the ring of the Xenon reflector as for the inner/smaller reflector it doesn't do anything just look like a projector but nothing inside unlike the AHL version act as a cornering light w/ frosted lens. I retrofitted my car w/ this kind and I believe it's not available for US market since for US market BMW only fitted Bi-Xenon w/ AHL capable.
So it's only a dual-projector 'look'

few differences I see from these LCIs vs the ones I have:
- The inner headlight seems to also be a projector, this is not the case on Xenon US Spec lights
- The Sticker on the top of the headlight does not say anything about DOT or anything whereas mine do
- There is no AHL module on the bottom of the headlight next to the xenon ballast
US buyers beware...
In any case the dual projectors look sickkk, i wish US spec had that...

AFAIK for US market at least on the LCI model (maybe even for other previous E60 model) Bi-Xenon only available w/ AHL standard ... but Euro spec can have with or w/o AHL Bi-Xenon ... must be the cost related.

it looks like those lights dont have AHL(adaptive headlights). ahl is an option, and not standard.

Sorry I did not mention that these are not adaptive, but I actually did not mention it because here this is an extra feature and we rather mention it if we have it, and not if we don't
I should also maybe myself been able to understand that when AHL-module was mentioned this was something about the adaptive feature thus I am actually not missing something in that respect.
So... I am selling complete headlights, non-adaptive
Thanks once again!
