Bi-Xenon headlight retrofit coding

Hi

Can someone post some insight about this as I am new to this forum ??

I have done the retrofit of removing the old Halogen headlights and fitted the Bi-xenon headlights (not adaptive headlights) and I have done some wiring work to relocate the pin 8 wire on headlight connector to the LIN bus pin on the FEM module,

Coded the car up using ESYS software and I changed the VO code by adding 522 (xenon headlight) and wrote to FP then went to code the FEM_BODY to apply the VO changes and it now works properly but the high beam shutter won't work after coding as it did work when the car was originally coded for the halogens.

I am going to post another list of the FDL changed that the VO code applied to the car and I am hoping if you could identify which ones is changing the high beam output setting etc so I can set it back to the halogen setting then I'll have fully working bi-xenon headlight retro fit with working high beams too [IMG][/IMG]

Cheers in advance for the help ?

where it says LEFT: that is showing the factory settings on Bmw for the Halogen set up.
then where it says RIGHT: thats the Xenon settings that has been coded to my car when I coded in the VO option (522)

could someone please be able to translate this a bit so I know which line has changed the setting for the High Beams so I can get them working again

I have attached a TXT document with all the writing properly spaced out so its easier to read

Good work so far, any progress? I'd love to see a detailed DIY (my wife wants this so badly in her 2)

Yeh after a long struggle of having to learn a bit of German to get a better understanding of the code and doing tons of reasearch but eventually I identified which FA code that controlled high beam itself and the code that controlled the high beam shutter .

So changed the FA code for them indervidually and hey presto I now have fully working bi xenon head lights retro fitted to my Bmw f22 when Bmw told me that It can’t be done and had loads of other Bmw owners saying it couldn’t be done but I have proved it CAN be done ..

Will be writing a detailed write up in the future that explains how I over came this problem

I'm interested in this as well, since my retrofit headlights are arriving next week. Here's a little video of them from the company I ordered them from:

Hi there mate those lights are different as I used genuine Bmw bi-xenons that I purchased from bmw them selves so the retro fit is going to be different as you have a halogen high beam where's my high beam is a shutter on the Xenon bulb and the 2nd light is blank empty one coz the low and high beam comes of one bulb on each side

Ill second this. What parts did you have to acquire to convert it? I assumed you needed European housings, lamps, module, ballasts, and then code it. I'm struggling to figure out how the system works. Not as simple as older cars I'm used to working on. This is going to require a whole new skill set. Thanks

Hi there I didn't really use European parts as there is several versions in Europe because main thing everyone needs to be aware of is that the bi-xenon headlights is the correct light for your country eg Left Hand drive (LHD) lights or Right Hand Drive (RHD) light because these lights project on to the road in different directions as I made the mistake first time round buying RHD one when I needed LHD lights for it to be legal in the UK

Hey what you have done is great and I would like to install Oem xenon lights to my 220i
So can you please tell me what parts I will have to order in order to be able to install ?
And after I order them is the coding difficult?

I'll get back to you about the parts list and coding can only be difficult if you don't understand German because all the coding is written out in German because there will be a few manual codes that u need to change once you VO coded the car first

This is fantastic. I think there will be many 2ers that will be following in your shoes since you have done it. I know that I don't really care if I have to buy BMW parts to do this, I'll find them and finally upgrade my lighting. I know it won't really add much value, but I simply want better lighting. Last night in the rain was sketchy at best.

So I will reiterate that, you da man!

Cheers man for the nice comment and to correct you there it will add value to it mate trust me because if you were to buy the car and chose to have xenons installed by bmw that's a £3000 optional extra so xenons adds more value to car than standard halogens do

Hey
Did you manage to complete the coding?
Are you able to provide us with a parts list by any chance?
Thank you in advance
And great job so far

Hi there

I did manage to complete it all by myself last year after doing intense research of why the VO coding for the xenons didn't work properly was due to having to manually change a few extra FA codes to get the high beam (flash) fully working

I'll try dig up the parts list but it's pretty basic as just needed the 2 bi-xenons headlights (left and right side) with all the ballast, modules, led drivers, xenons bulbs fitted into each headlamp unit.... then provide 2 extra grounding points for each headlamp in the 12pin plug then move 2 wires in the FEM module so that the car can communicate with the modules within the headlights as they control the brightness and switching of the angel eyes

Then finish it off with the VO code the car then modify the FA code for the high beams

Then job done 😎

So what two wires need to be moved and from where to where? Thanks in advance.

I'll try dig up the parts list but it's pretty basic as just needed the 2 bi-xenons headlights (left and right side) with all the ballast, modules, led drivers, xenons bulbs fitted into each headlamp unit.... then provide 2 extra grounding points for each headlamp in the 12pin plug then move 2 wires in the FEM module so that the car can communicate with the modules within the headlights as they control the brightness and switching of the angel eyes

Then finish it off with the VO code the car then modify the FA code for the high beams

Then job done ��

Any possibility to do a write up with the coding and photos of what this all means please, also the coding would be greatly appreciated:
