Adaptive LED retro fit

Post by Bmwobsessed » Mon Jan 08, 2018 11:28 pm

Has anyone done this on a non M E70 X5?
Coders can this be done on a 40d LCi?

Thanks in advance!

Have you got all of the hardware - I was led to believe it was more than just light units.

The official kit was just over £6k when I looked several years ago and I decided it wasn’t worth it at that time.  Might be easier to source all of the bits nowadays.

Hi

It may be worth contacting Jason At BWChiptune as I know when I was down there over a year ago they were looking at changing an E70 with xenon over to LED Headlights.

You can find his contact details in thee53 performance section

From my understanding you need the folllowing,

Adaptive Led Headlights x 2
Retrofit loom x 1
High pressure washer jets x 2
FRM3 x 1
Coding session

I can’t find anyone with the kit fitted on a non M powered E70.

I know Jason at BW Chiptune so I will have a word with him guy’s.

Meanwhile if anyone has any information I would be grateful!

Taken from elsewhere, allbeit it’s from Gixxers X5m

Ps
I think the headlight shape is different on the X5m hence the retrofit is possibly not available on the non m models unless a full front end modification is carried out, ie wings, bumper & bonnet
