Help Coding M4 adaptive headlights into a 435i

I was wondering if anyone knows how get a set of M4 adaptive headlights to work on a 435i that came with adaptive headlights. I recently acquired a 2016 435i at auction and I am rebuilding it. It came with adaptive headlights from the factory, but because it has front end damage the headlights did not come with the vehicle. So I purchased a set from another forum member here about a week ago off an M4. Yet, when I went to install them today the low beam works and so do the turn signals, but I'm getting an adaptive headlight error on the idrive system and the high beams don't work, nor do the angel eyes. I tried doing some coding via BimmerCode by changing the settings to LEDs, but it didn't seem do resolve the issue. I am wondering if anyone knows of a professional who does remote coding or if someone knows how to resolve this issue, any help would be much appreciated.

You need E-Sys for that and then you will find many instructions here in this forum.

How do I go about getting E-Sys and can I run it with my cellphone or old MacBook Pro laptop?

Ended up purchasing a Schwaben Multi-System Elite Scanner from ECS tuning today. I'm hoping I can code in the modules to work, the rep from ECS told me I could do coding with it, so I'm hoping I can get this issue resolved soon.

Anyone know if this scan tool can code headlight modules

This tool can't code and this tool doesn't even fit your car.

I just checked the site and it states it works for both the 2016 435i that I'm rebuilding and also my 2016 M235i. I guess I'll have to call and cancel the order in a bit once they open. It list the following in the product description. I bolded and put the part in red which is the reason I purchased it.

Yes, you are right.
I only read model E46 at the bottom and thought this is only for old models.
But unfortunately it still cannot code.

I guess I'm going to have to cancel the order before they ship it out today because I paid for expedited shipping. I don't know why the ECS running rep told me I could program the headlight modules if it's not possible. I looked into getting E-SYS but don't know how to go about it because I don't own an old windows laptop. I only have a old 2010 MacBook Pro laptop that I have upgraded the HD and Ram, which I currently use for school.

Get a Windows VM on your Macbook and order an ENET cable - I can probably assist you remotely.

No massive software installs needed to code remotely.

Would that mean I need to get Parallels or VMware Fusion to make this work or do you happen to know how I can get Windows VM without either? What would I need to get to be able to have you help me code it remotely?
