Just did this on my e90 335i Was a pita but got there in the end Looks bad ass Thanks for video 👍

[@whatsup4616]

Looks great! I’ll be doing this conversion pretty soon too!

[@chataybg]

hello i have e90 2007 pre lci i dont have bixenon headlights can i retrofit to lci headlights

[@_danieljr]

Bro how did you change your clusters color. That’s so badass

[@BeastM140i]

You can resolder the LEDS behind it

[@bjy4155]

How about the three dot led? Does it works? Is it need to be coded also in order to make it works?

[@davidcarreira394]

How did you do with the high beams?

[@MrNicoe36cabrio]

Another great DIY. Thanks!

[@butch821]

Looks a bit like F10 pre-lci, I like it.

[@1234mgrhch1234]

Hey id like to do the same covertion you think if I paid you we could do it remotely and you could do it for me ?

[@josezambrano448]

So what kind of headlights do I need to look for to do this conversion. My pre lci headlights have adaptive headlights

[@exiteternium]

Hey man, after seeing how the OG Pre LCI housing can crap all over the harness, was wanting to move to LCI adaptive Xenons on my 08 E90 as well First, Was the FRM replacement required, or did the FRM in the car already work fine? what coding was required for function? and can i code use for it with the phone app from bimmergeeks? also what does the little connector on the outside behind the LED's connect to?

[@bertelsenmedia2nd]

i have the pre lci halogen headlight on my 05 e91. Would these be "plug and play" with the coding? And what headlights are these exactly

[@forweb2842]

Have you ever found an answer? I wanted to do the same thing.

[@bertelsenmedia2nd]

@@forweb2842 for halogen its plug and play. But xenon needs a couple of changes. And you need a specific tutorial for the items needed. But halogen lci is plug and play

[@forweb2842]

@@bertelsenmedia2nd Yeah, I’ve done researched about some wiring changes and coding VO, my only question now is “Will it work on my FRM module?” or I need to upgrade it to FRMII. Do you change yours to LCI Xenon or to LCI halogen?

[@FrankiE90jl]

If I got a LCI halogen headlight and I want to upgrade to the xenon, is there gonna be an error come up?

NEEEEEEED HELPPPPPOPP Just done prelci xenon to lci xenon on my e92. All lights work but the leds such as the angel lights and indicators flicker constantly. No idea what to do. Voltage monitor checks have been turned off

[@M12MA]

Ive turned all cold and warm checks to not active but my angel lights and indicators still flicker when the engine is on but fine when the engine is off. Please advise

[@chungeuee14]

Probably cutting the wire connected to the LED and connect the anti flickering harness between the cut wire would resolve the problem? But not sure.. good luck thou

[@wachaczkalafonii8139]

Thaaaanks. I love you! Very helpful tutorial. So really easy coding:). You must make a tutorial on how to coding a key - adding/removing key acces in CAS. Poland greets You. BB. Thanks😘

[@forweb2842]

Can I use this method with the halogen one?

[@andrel7484]

What is that that you attached to the front bumper on the bottom?. I want one, wete can i get those?

[@everettreid4674]

[@kmlumd44]

Can you help me retrofit my e63 from adaptive xenon to standard LED and coding?

[@fastboatster]

How much do you think I should pay for a set of hid lci headlights and what’s the best place to get them? eBay seems very expensive

[@slawiapostolowich8482]

Hey man , it is a cool video and very useful info about the coding. I just wanted to know about upgrading the headlights when you put the new ones LCI , are they coming will all the bulbs, xenon and balast for xenon, so they are “plug&play” ? Because when buying Used lci headlight , they come “nacked” no belbs , xenon , balast at it , andthey are saying we cant use the one we have on the can already mounted

[@afailathrone]

What splitter were u using on the front? can i get a link or name for amazon

[@CamperPrius]

Do you know if i can do the opposite? I have a 2011 and want to out 2008 headlights? The LCI cost so much

[@titan_bmw]

hi, I have the following problem: I have retrofitted the LCI headlights with cornering lights and the right headlight lights up to the left when you steer to the right. I wired everything correctly and coded it correctly, no errors in the on-board computer, what else can you do so that the right headlight swivels correctly to the right?

[@colerobinson1187]

Any answer?

[@alexq2942]

So is the frm2 module needed if going from pre lci xenon adaptive to lci xenon adaptive?

[@Zalle335]

Did you find out the answer? I am doing this swap soon

[@sandkicker619]

I am also curious

[@Zalle335]

Was fitment same as pre lci lights? Gonna buy LCI lights from a guy for 180$!!! Real steal. He said they didn't fit his pre lci though. Also the car I am going to buy has xenon and adaptive headlights. Will there be any issues? The lci are xenons, not sure if adaptive. Can I just use the pre lci modules or something?

[@dfqnexxus3710]

So you mind helping me out, I got probably the cheapest headlight in the area I need to make sure they will work to do the conversion , I'm sorry I'm new to this world lol

[@awaspthatswatchingyou4559]

Hi, great video. Would you know if this is possible. I have a LCI e90 2011 which comes with xenon headlights but without cornering lights and adaptive headlights. I want to change them to AHL with the cornering function. Is this plug and play or would I need anything else besides the head light assembly or coding?

[@MrGerdar]

Great video and very detailed. Could you please advise if the coding was due because you were changing Halogens or Xenons? Appreciate a reply.

[@VehicularDIY]

Thanks, mostly due to the LED turn signals.

[@MrGerdar]

@@VehicularDIY Thank you!

[@brianheath7971]

Just curious, my inner lights never come on except for when taking a sharp corner at low speeds or when using blinker they dimly light up. They are also a halogen bulb. When pulling stock back for flash to pass my normal highbeams just activate. Car is 2011 335is. My older e90 pre lci flash to pass was super bright. Granted that is the only time the inner bulb came on. Yours are running constantly?

No Other than the potential voltage differences and other problems that you might encounter you have to retrofit the headlight washers and the sensors for the auto leveling feature.
