I wonder if these are any good, no programming required supposedly. I know nothing of the technology at work and whether LED self level like HIDs? Lots of work to fit them as well, but they do appeal. The seller states there is no AFS function?

I dont know how many E71 owners frequent here, a group buy might be cost effective?

Seller sent me this, https://youtu.be/JMHAELa0teU​ Based on the background noise i don't think its an E71 engine thats running

I wouldn't even go there to be honest.....made in china for a start.....they will look naff, probably mist up in winter or even summer and throw up errors.....when I had my e38 and went to meets some had similar fitted with problems.....just my opinion..

Having thought about the work involved and my decrepit knees, its joined my list of thoughts that dont or wont materialise..

In that video he is using a power supply not a car.
Right at the top/middle of the picture.
I am sure it is the same as i have in my radio shack (Ham).

There was an official LED upgrade kit offered by BMW. £6k and a lot of wiring work and coding. These don’t look to have a number of requirements met - no sign of E Approval only DOT. May well be an MOT fail in the making.

Can’t see any sign of a laser warning label, nor are they marked with anything other than LED.

This is what proper laser lights look like - and the laser only comes on above 35mph when high beam is also on. Provide a ‘spot beam’ within high beam.
They are without doubt the best lights I have ever used. High beam lights 1/2 mile of road ahead. Sadly BMW have now discontinued them as they have started using Megapixel LED units.
