Man! I followed your link thinking there was a write up already!
Please post some details, specifically on the wiring please. My car is in the shop doing this mod as I type..... Other than the headlights, what do you need for parts? Last edited by fmzip; 08-28-2019 at 02:42 PM.. |

Could you possibly comment on this F30 DIY if it coincides with exactly what you did on the F22 please?

My installer got my xenons installed and working with hi and low beam. Only thing left is to code out the errors for the adaptive headlights and need to run wires for the halos since there were no lin bus under the under the hood for them. Did you need to run lines for the halos too.? My car is a 2016, what is yours. Wondering if they are wired differently in Europe than the states.
Could you share how you coded out the adaptive headlight error please and any other tidbits to help finish my install Last edited by fmzip; 08-31-2019 at 06:23 PM.. |

I'm beginning to think this thread is vaporware! Never happened....
My Indy did the Xenon swap for me. I am up and running. Unfortuantely I can't provide you with any details other than wires need to be run from the headlights to the control module in the kick panel of the cockpit. Coding was a bit time consuming, they wouldn't say exactly what was what except that link I posted below was extremely helpful: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...v4z5HPi5g/edit Last edited by fmzip; 12-03-2019 at 12:29 PM.. |

He did this install back in February of 2018: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1464946 The write up must be at the publisher, proofing for errors. Then, it has to go to print, then binding then distribution. I'm estimating that you may see this writeup in 2022 if your lucky. |

I'm very new to this forum as well and just wanted to ask you how did you do it I got a 116d and I bought a new front bumper and the xenon headlights only bought the front bumper because mine was damaged so had to replace it and this guy sold me them both together so I want to change my headlights to the xenons but I have no clue how so I only got the headlights of the guy which included the bulb and the modules so what other part do I need? for the actual fitting also I got the bumper with the headlight washer it is hard to actually make it work? also the coding do you have it written up somewhere which would save me trying to figure it out myself Many thanks Aingaran |

Where did you read that? He hasn't had a single post that I see since he posted this thread?
https://www.2addicts.com/forums/sear...rchid=64422255 He lives in Cumbria, UK... are you friends with him or something?? |
