Glad it was helpful!

YOU CONSIDER THIS AS AN UPGRADE FROM STOCK HID? THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BTW.

[@x-coastie]

I do. The reason is they just as bright if not brighter. I’m not sure about reliability, but so far things work great. Thank you!

Friend, I bought a D1s led like this one to put on my X5 like yours but it didn't even give a signal, it doesn't turn on the headlights, do you know if it's necessary to decode it??

[@x-coastie]

No. The only thing coding does is disables voltage checks for low voltage, and that just disables the dash warning. It does not enable or disable voltage, which means if the switch is working and on, the bulbs should cut on no matter what.

@@x-coastie So, but I install the LED and the light doesn't come on! I put Xenon on again and it turns on normally, LED with cambus and people have already used it on a BMW and it worked....my BMW is a V8.

Hi there, what did you do with the ballast?

[@x-coastie]

The D1S LED uses the existing ballast from BMW. The ballast is mounted to the headlight housing already and there is no need to touch it, move it or anything. Just unplug the existing D1S Xenon bulb, remove it and plug in the new LED bulb. That’s all I had to do.

Still working?

[@x-coastie]

I recently sold the X5. But it was still working. No issues at all!
