I think its the whole itself. I am not sure if we can get parts of light replaced

OEM is the best you can do for LCI

I think it will take at least 1-2 years for something like that to come that. By that time, they will be prepping up for the next 3 series - G20

Changing from halogen to Xenon costs £6210 in the UK (Jesus!!!) according to quote form Cartronics website. I have been looking for these for a while now. Do they also have LED turn signals (eyebrows)? Thanks for sharing the way to replace ugly halogen bulbs with sexy LEDs.

I will do it some time I promise. But overall there is day and night difference of brightness between halogen and these LEDs.

They have LED turn signals as well as M3/M4 eyebrow DRLs but the turn signals itself are not eyebrows.

On the LCI models (2016+) it's halogen or LED, on the 2012-2015 it's halogen or Xenon. These are LED headlights modeled after the 4 series led's, but are designed to be plug and play with an F30 with halogen lights.

Wait... are you saying that the OEM 2016 LED headlight is plug-n-play to earlier model year F30 without coding or any other special work?

Yes. That is correct. Not oem but very near to oeM. You can see the details and pics.

The OEM led's are not plug and play in the 16+, but these aftermarket lights are plug and play

macrossVFX222 · 02-09-2016, 03:21 PM

Yeah... I am convinced... working with vendor now to buy a set... Harman since we are both in BA... do you have any recommendations for installation?

Level3 · 02-10-2016, 01:29 PM

OK, just got these LED lights shipped to me from Umnitza. Was so pumped I opened them up outside my car. Hahaha. I'll take some detailed pics later when I get home. The lights look top notch. Very pleased with the fit and finish. They're scheduled to be installed on Monday. Umnitza was very helpful in the ordering and delivery process. Here's a teaser of the lights in the back seat of my car. heh

ji99lypuff · 02-10-2016, 03:38 PM

They look high quality, please post some more pics of them! How long was delivery time since order? Ive heard it was taking a month or more to get them delivered. Its going to look great with your m bumper.

Level3 · 02-10-2016, 03:54 PM

Yeah... its took a little longer than I had originally expected. I think there was an issue of some sort with my batch arriving on time. They're also ordering them by preorder only. Have to wait till they get enough to fill an order... I guess so that they can get bulk discount to make it worth it for them. They kept me in the loop during the process and assured me I'd get them as soon as possible. Lights arrived very well packed. I'll try to take some more pics maybe later this evening.

I got it installed from Umnitza itself and it was perfect. PM me if you need details and I can also tell you certain things to take care during installation.
