Yeah I'm not too worried, I am hoping it will ship out soon. I just wanted to let everyone know there's a lot of people retrofitting these lights apparently

Finally got mine ordered last night!
Maybe their website and my computer didn't see eye to eye or perhaps it was simply operator error? Anyway, its done now. I'm looking forward to the.conversion... just need to figure out how to get it coded now.


Anyone?

Contact Ram at [email protected]. He can do the coding remotely.

I am totally ignorant.... what devise do I need to code? Do I need to remove anything from the vehicle or is there something to connect a devise via cable to my laptop?
Thx!

You will need an OBD2 cable similar to this

For BMW Inpa Ediabas K Dcan USB OBD2 OBDII Car Diagnostic Tool Cable | eBay

There are other variants that are Bluetooth and WiFi, but this will do the trick.

I would suggest staying with a corded cable - you don't need any 'glitches' or Bluetooth or Wifi when you are coding your expensive vehicle.

Jeff, FYI the wiring shipped so they were true to their word

Finally ready to start this project!

Good deal... maybe mine will ship soon too!
And I already have the cable ready for a direct connection.

Gixxer - went to VIR this weekend and saw a lot of M4s and M5s with LED headlights. Super excited about having his own soon.
