Last question!! I promise lol.
When turning the steering to the left, The headlight only turns a tad bit compared to turning it to the right which turn a lot. Is this normal? To me, it makes sense since we're LHD and don't want to blind on coming traffic, but at the same time it doesn't. |

I have already basic Xenons (522) and automatic headlights (5AC) so does someone know if I need anything else but new lights and driver control modules to activate variable light distribution and adaptive lights? If that would be enough then it would be quite simple and "cheap" job to do.

Does someone swapped normal xenons with FLA camera to adaptive ones with camera and compared them in light/moderate traffic? Does the high beam stay on (partially) so you could really see better and farther away than with basic on/off ones? In videos (mostly made by BMW) they seems to be amazing and would be really helpful in dark, non-lit, highways which we have here. Just trying to decide if I should do this retrofit or not and how much I would be willing to spend money on it. |

I've been checking on ebay if I could find a good deal of new lights but found out that with the part numbers (63117259553 and 63117259551) provided by OP in the doc, I only find deals from US. That's weird because I specifically need and want the Europe version of the lights since I want the light tunnel function to work.
I checked in Realoem and WebETK and found out that the part numbers for adpative xenons are *63117338701 and 63117338702. Has the numbers changed in some point or why the disparity? |

I'm going to be taking off my xenon lights and putting my halogens back on since my lease will be up soon. Can anyone tell me what the value should be for the following?
LWR_AHL_TYP = auto./dyn. LWR+AHL = 03 This is the value that should be for the xenon lights, but I can't remember what the value was before, for the halogens. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm pretty sure it's "manuell", but not certain.

Would I be able to get it working if I just ignore the "auto-levelling" and "adaptive" parts of the installation? I just want the low and high beams to work, but I really don't care about the adaptive functionality since it seems a lot more of a hassle than I want. Thanks!

Hello Kapkanimd, great job on the write up for the adaptive xenon retrofit for F30. I followed it to the dot of it and am having some issues. after swapping FEM cables I don't have high beam and my halo lights do not work. I spend 2 weeks on this already. I'm willing to pay you if you help me figure this out.
if anybody else wants to chime in please do. |

on the DIY PDF file on step 40 it says
"...This is a good point to test the headlights to make sure everything lights up, HOWEVER, they will not function with the car on. Just turn the headlight knob to on and see if everything lights up. Make sure you have the daytime running lights activated on your idrive. Check the blinkers, angel eyes, and headlights to just make sure your bulbs and control units work." that right there is before coding, I have not done any coding yet. i get low beam, blinkers side mark light working. halo's and high beam does not. do i need to have the driver control module for Halo and High beam to work? |

little help please, after step 43, where it says
"Now, VO Code FEM_BODY: Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => RightClick on FEM_BODY (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE." on 43 it says go back and FDL code the following. im stuck here, how do I go back to FDL code? there is a button on right side of the window but its grayed out. |

Thank you got it to work. almost everything is working now. the only thing now is my High beam is not working. I realized that my high beam is an LED, do i have to code that differently than xenon? I have bi-xenon like the shutter goes up and down fine, but the LED high beam does not turn on
below is an older video that I recorded that shows it whats happening when turning on low/high beam. Last edited by gapon; 05-13-2017 at 02:28 PM.. Reason: had to add video |

Actually, hold on a minute. Aren't those aftermarket plug and play units? You shouldn't be following the diy pdf file as that only applies to OEM retrofits.
