I have found on Russian site that one guy retrofitted to F20 this LED head lamps, but i don't understand Russian.

So, does anybody know where I can find wiring harness for LED head lamps or how to create one?

You have rain/lightsensor?

I have done this myself so i can help you

I would be interested as well. I too have base light now but have rain sensor. I have not yet purchased parts because I was afraid that it would be difficult job because of missing wiring harness.

I have also done center console ambilight upgrade by changing trim piece to LCI one. It was easy enough but does dome light need new harness and should that new harness be connected to FEM? If yes, I guess it's not that easy.

Like i said in an earlier post. If you have rain/light sensor than every wire is there

You need +12v and k-line. Take them from the rain sensor. Wire 21 from FEM is already in the base domelight. Gnd to. Just needs repinning. So no it isnt difficult

If you retrofit rear dome to you need to make a wiring harnes from front to rear. Not hard cause its a straight line. You would need 1 wire from fem. There is a unused wire in the base light that can be used for rear. Just repin in FEM

Hi, sry for the late respond. Yes I have rain sensor, i heard that you can myke Y cable, same one like with the AC trim cover, but i don't know where is rain sensor cable, where to find it.

Yes you can make ycable. Remove the plastic trim around the mirror base. Where its is glued on the window. Bad bad english sorry. There you can find the cable for the sensor. Pull it back from the dome light in to the roof. Wire the ycable back to the rain sensor. And voila you have +12v and k-lin

Okay, so i disconnect cable from the rain sensor, make a Y cable, and that Y cable connect to the dome light? Do i need something else? How to connect rear dome light?

I would also like to know how this is done.

Okay, no problem man. Can you at least tell me, do I need to buy some materials for this project? So I can order them from BMW. If you have codes that would be great.

of course.

4 6pin connectors: 61130406869
the right pins. 24: 61130005197
Front dome light: 61319312496
rear dome light: 61319277932
couple of mtrs of wire .35 mm2, dont know the awg...


and you will need to make a ycable for the rain/light sensor. i think its a 3 pin connector but cant be sure. buy a male and a female. with the pins. or you can splice the wires and solder them directly on the wires that go to the rain/light sensor. you will need power and k-lin.

i started the diy i hope i finish it this week.

For the 6 pin connector, it says that has been discounted from factory. (

Are you sure you have bought that connectors, using that exact same code?

Also, pin connectors (24 pcs), am little bit confused, when I type that code in google, there is only short cable with female pin?

Isn't there supposed to be only pins, without cables?

For the connector check the number on realoem. They change numbers quite often. I added a photo with the new number.

For the pins i bought them on ebay with that number and it comes with wire. I found it easy as i dont have a shrink tool. I solderd wires to it and used shrinktube.
