I don't really know much about coding but I remember reading that you have to change the date to post 4/11 or something like that to the FRM for the LED's to work properly???

BMW tech revealed that there is a new revision to the LED retrofit kit that does not require switching my FRM Module. As it turns out, the new wiring harness (5 wire headlight leads) I received also applies to the revision... We just need to pin out the additional wires and follow the wiring instructions (without optionSA524).

This arrived today:




(white specks you see are just pieces of Styrofoam from packaging)

LED Headlights done and coded!
Everything is working 100%!

Link to revised LED Retrofit instructions:

Side by side comparison of my newly equipped LED headlight X5M to my buddies Xenon equipped X5M....
LED headlights certainly updates the front end.





I will post pictures of comparison shots with lights on in various modes once I figure out how to photograph them properly.

These use LEDs instead of HIDs? Didn't even know these were available. I'd be interested in close up shots of the headlight with the lights off.
