I'm pretty serious about giving one of these a shot depending on a few factors and need to speak to someone who has had real life experience with them*

Try giving him a shout marius76_bmw on instagram. I'm not sure if he's ever seen them in person, he's just helped customers who have paid for his coding services.

Any updates on these I saw them on Amazon and eBay

[Yam_440i]

Yes I can confirm they are on Amazon UK too

[BillNguyen]

Have Marius had any new customers with these lci style headlight recently also because it on Amazon are the kinks now worked out?

Just spotted this.. but the money they want is OEM icons money 2nd hand without modules, you could just need to hunt around for some cheap module replacements.. or buy the Chinese modules for £250 as a complete kit and have real LED units for almost the same total money

[greyf36]

Oh I am actually working with Marius right now to tackle this down

It’s a lot of work and trial and error

[Yam_440i]

What kind of issues are you facing with these lights?

my highbeam didnt work (no response at all)
and the DRL wasnt working with a bunch of error codes...

Marius helped by providing some new wires to reconfigure the headlight socket
wires and relocate/remove pins from the FEM, as well as removing a fuse in the back of the car...along with tons of coding and updating software lol....

its crazy...time and money invested u are better off with OEM used ICON headlights with OEM modules...

[eff32fl]

Yeah fk all that noise lol. These are supposed to be plug n play. No one wants to rewire and recode their car.

[Yam_440i]

Yeh I'm completely out. No way I'm going through all that headache.

Oh well, there was me hoping

Were your original lights adaptive?

[chinniciF32]

yea thats too much work involved, lets hope by summer they get all the kinks worked out release a version 2 or something, I have adaptive headlights so I might be disqualfied altogther from these sadly

[BillNguyen]

Yeah i wonder how did they get the laser version to work in the video? Or is it just the led ones that don’t work

Unless your car was originally fitted with adaptive led headlights then you will always have to re-pin the headlight plug. Marius does a great kit with instructions built using BMW parts, but if you're not feeling the urge to pull a few wires out of the original plug then you'll need to stick with xenon headlights.

The process you did was likely the same as you would if you were retrofitting oem icons.

The laser look-alike models are probably closer to being plug and play as they're not LED, they actually just use non adaptive xenon projectors.

[BillNguyen]

If the laser look alike work even without the adaptive future i think it’s still a great deal for people that want the Lci look, like bayoptiks

[Squibby1996]

Looks like these are dropping in price allready

Most likely sellers stuck with stock due to the installation issues, I'd guess they're selling them for trade cost now.

[Yam_440i]

I am convinced that if BMW modules and electronics were not so finicky these may have been a success, but our cars are very complicated.

[greyf36]

the projector version is ugly. I finally got my lights to work with the help from Marius. I think the process can be easier now since we know what's needed to be done.
We basically have to disable and rewire my car to function like a car without adaptive, then it become "Plug and Play"

[Yam_440i]

Can you share some pics

[chinniciF32]

Are people still having problems with installs on these? I think I might purchase these, also looks like they've gone up in price quite a bit

[WillLowe]

I've got some sitting in my garage, just waiting for a free day to try and install them, I'm told the newer models have has the kinks worked out but time will tell
