Thanks. I am still trying to work out details now. The headlights aren't currently aciting 'adaptively' i.e. they are not turning with the steering wheel...
Shawnsheridan thinks it might just be related to the leveling sensors not being connected yet. So I will wait until that is complete before try anything else. Currently the only error the car is throwing is regarding the autoleveling so once finished I should be error free with working adaptive headlights! I can't help you with any washer advice as I would have no use for them living in sunny FL. Other than that, once I finish, I will write up a semi-DIY with full parts list. |

So yea I'm retarded. I looked at a build sheet for a 335 and saw the option code for adaptive light control 524...
So yea when you code 522 you also code 524 for adaptive. Immediately my lights came to life. I'm like a kid who discovered his first boner. One last step connecting the autoleveler wiring to icm module (I already ran the wires from the sensors to the interior) and the retrofit is complete! |

Hey guys, sorry it has been so long since the last update. Yesterday I finished connecting the leveling sensors to the ICM module. Unfortunately, they are not working and I am still receiving the error...
I am not yet sure if this is a coding issue, bad sensor, wiring issue, or something else... My next step is to check the coding and if I do not see anything I will then double check the wiring to see if there are any problems.. Otherwise I am not sure if there is a way to read the errors through the coding software to maybe determine what the problem is or if there is a way to test the sensors themselves to determine if they are working... I will report back when I find something... Otherwise though the headlights are still working great with no problems since the install, I couldn't be happier. I just want the leveling fixed so there are no errors for when I need to take the car in for service and what not. |

Would a shop know what to do if I were to show them this thread and ask them if they could retrofit my car? Lol

Sorry for lack of updates.. I have been a little busy and am trying to figure out the best way to diagnose why the autolevelers aren't working. I am figuring out if I can read the actual error through ebdias so I can hopefully narrow down the problem (bad sensor, bad wiring, etc) Otherwise they only thing I can do is just double check the wiring and start replacing sensors.
aloo6: any progress on yours? if when you do the autolevelers and it works, then I would know it is likely just a problem with one of my sensors. I will try and get a semi-DIY as soon as I can |

Awesome stuff guys, thank you for tackling this project! Can't wait for the DIY to be completed!
In the meantime, can you suggest a parts list or where you guys got your parts, after reading this I'm eager to get started, at least in getting the parts!! |

I will try and get this done tomorrow. I can tell you though, most of parts were collected through ebay.. simply to save money and buy used. Buying all new would easily be $2-3k, I think I am around $1500 but I purchased a lot of unnecessary wiring in order to narrow down the exact parts. This should be able to be completed for <$1500, a lot less if you are lucky with parts... A lot of mine came from Europe ebay..

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I already have had some luck on euro eBay, found some parts i needed for another retrofit for 1/4 the cost of getting them new. I did however find a site that is selling the entire xenon assembly new for less than $700 each, most of the used ones on ebay were around that price and didnt include the bulbs, modules, etc.

I found one headlight controller right away, but the other took a month or two and I found in Lithuania.. Just make sure you pay attention to part numbers as you do not want to get the wrong one. I will try and post what I can later. |

I think the housing assembly do not include modules, just lamp without modules and controllers. But I could be wrong |

Ok guys, I have started the DIY, it will be a work in progress as I am doing it as I can in my spare time. This should get you started with the parts for now as that is the most important. Once completed we can start a new thread to discuss. I am using a google doc so it is updated in real time. Here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing Everything except the wiring and the LED modules were purchased via ebay. If you can find a complete headlight at a reasonable price then go for it. Everyone I have seen on ebay is without the modules so pay attention to what you are buying. Do not pay more than $1k for bare headlights.. NOTE: This is just for the headlights without the autolevelers, I will do a separate addition at the end or on another document for those. Mine still are not working so I did not want to include. They are also not necessary at all if you do not wish to have them. NOTE 2: This is also specifically for US model cars. The wiring in EU spec cars is slightly different, and might require different part numbers. I am also assuming at least you would need different driver control modules for those that drive on the wrong side of the road As I mentioned in the disclaimer, it would be smart to double check real oem using your VIN to verify parts you need.

I think you may be right. The reason I thought it included it all was that in the diagram for the parts it showed all of the parts surrounded by a box for the number listed. I'll have to email and ask.

Is there perhaps somewhere else on the headlight housing itself which shows a different part #? Just trying to eliminate any confusion. |

The number on real OEM that I would assume correct if looking would be 63117338707 and 63117338708 Last edited by kapkanimd; 01-16-2014 at 10:21 PM.. |

Done editing the document for the night, I added the headlight wiring part and more images. As I complete this, if there are any more pictures or explanations you want to see on there just let me know. I am doing this mostly from memory and this was almost a month ago. I will also add in the original wiring diagrams at the very end for reference, but really not needed if you follow the DIY.
