Retrofit LED headlights?

Did anyone have to remove old FRM wires to install wiring harness pins?

IT didn't mention to remove these at all on the instructions... But I just followed instructions assuming that's how things are meant to be and maybe that my car was wired differently to begin with?

That is indeed strange, did you have halogen or Xenons to start?

The White/Green and White/Blue wires are for the high beams I believe, but am not 100% sure. So I am assuming you remove the outer casing on each FRM connector, removed the pin and popped the new ones in?

Can you friend try the coding again? Have you tried disconnecting the battery and then connecting it again?

If the halo's worked before, then something is definitely up. This is a new FRM, right? Perhaps its a bad FRM, as much as I hate to say it.

The car originally had Halogen, then retrofitted Bi-Xenons now LED AHL.

I've figured it out, was pin 50 on X14261 plug. I had to use old wire I removed and its now working!

I have a bunch of error messages though, but my coder believes its due to my car having had different wiring from the outset. Fog lights was originally on the car but now longer due to X5M bumper not needing them. I also get high beam flicker when I initally start up the car but goes after 2-3 seconds.

Otherwise it's working. My coder will work through the errors and get it figured. Overall its been a success!

This is quite interesting as the replacement of pin 50 on X14261 plug was part of the NEW instructions, not the old instructions....so you basically reverted to the old instructions and all is well now.

Between BMWs issues with FRM advise and wiring, this definitely concerns me. Instructions need to be updated by BMW a THIRD time...
