How do you change the vehicle order date? I asked my local dealer had it changed to 04/2012 but it says file is corrupt. Do i have to do it outside instead?

How is the D1S bulb held on? On the pre LCI, there is a wire that acts like a spring clamp like this

On the LCI headlight, it just looks like this, am I missing something?

push and turn the bulb

How long would it take start to finish swapping lights from a 2012 lci to a 2009 non lci then the old ones out of the 2009 back into 2012. Would any software updates etc be needed or just the physical parts?

Dont know where to start

it take like 4 hours to swap lights on one vehicle, as far as coding you will have to swap FRM modules too, so you will have to code each FRM for work with the new vehicle (write Vin/ via coding etc)
