LCI headlight on pre-LCI, good fit?
Just wondering if the headlight from LCI will fit on the pre-LCI version? It looks almost identical, but really don't know if it's plug and play. Need you advice. Thanks!

It will take about 4-5 hours of your time to do it the first time.

Not true, here is a complete set for less than $1300 USD

BMW X5 Headlight Set 2013 Left and Right OEM $1800 | auto body parts | City of Toronto | Kijiji

Then you sell your pre-LCI on ebay for $1000

lol, I thought I was the only pre-lci with lci headlights. Okee helped me code mine as well, I didn't know how to use winkfp at the time .

I'd always recommend going with him over one of the other vendors for remote coding

Yea he knows what he is doing. He got it done pretty quick. I'm now sourcing parts for the CIC Navi retrofit. pretty much have all the parts. I think just a few more cable and it should be good to go. I need the usb cable and the dvd changer cable if anyone knows where to find them please let me know.
