Hey folks. Attempted this install this weekend and hit a couple snags. Hoping those who have done this before can chime in:

Front fuse box - my car doesn't have the connector marked Z7*10B in the instructions, but I see where that would go, looks to be part number 61139228356 based on real OEM. So if I get that and plug in, I should be good?

FEM module: my car already has wires coming out of pins 20 and 21 on A173*2B and pins 49 and 50 on A173*8B. The instructions say, if pins already are there, "connect with mini-connectors." What does that mean?

My car is a 2016 with Halogens, btw.

According to this jerkoff I guess it’s the same. Just double check the wiring diagrams.

Just a thought for anyone who is only really wanting to replace 4 non-adaptive halogens with LEDs. All the expense and complication of buying LCI lights and wiring the FEM is a bit of overkill. On my 2014 F30 I just bought a set of aftermarket LED bulbs that were a very good match for the halogens' output pattern. Then I just had to code out the hot and cold monitoring with ESys. The difference was night and day (!). The beam pattern was excellent, with no complaints from other drivers.

I got my H7 LEDs here:

The Twenty20 Compact bulbs were newly released when I made the change, but some of the later, more expensive bulbs may be brighter/more accurate.

Unfortunately that's not an option in the UK. MOT Inspection manual section 4.1.4 specifies:

Quote:
“Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.”
