BMW F12/F13/F06 DIY LCI Adaptive LED Headlights Retrofit

I have retrofitted for a total of $900.

It was completed by changing the PIN of the FRM and headlight connector respectively
and changing the power supply of 15A and added CAN3 from ZGW

From where did you source the LCI headlights?
My passenger side Pre LCI LED has conked off.
Planning to upgrade to the LCI LEDs.
Any help will be appreciated.

That is very cool, did you have led adaptive before the LCI lights?

I can get used parts cheaply in my country (JAPAN).

If you are planning an LCI headlight
I recommend that you use esys to perform program operations.
Change the LCI year of manufacture and type code.
If the HWEL of the FRM is not black, the FRM needs to be replaced.

This is very much on my list to do, could you provide the pin connector changes for the FRM to the headlights and where did you connect for CAN3?

Can you post before (pre-LCI) and after (LCI) pics? TIA I'd also like to know your opinion on the differences between the two.

Hello,
I am doing the same retrofit from PRE LCI LED -> LCI LED

Few questions:
1.When you change from old to new FRM, do you need only to change few pins for headlight function? All other pins remain the same?

2. Could you give more details on how to code new FRM and headlights? I have esys, however my experience is limited
I need to change Vehicle FA? If yes, then which FA function i need to change?
As i understand, i will need to inject new CAFD into new FRM?
What else I need to do beside this and in the last stage "teaching" new headlights with ISTA+ ?

I'm currently working to retrofit LED headlights on my 2016 F55 and it seems there is no CAN3 on my FEM or BDC module.

if you can help me on this topic, please ?
Thanks.

① Replacing the old FRM with the new FRM (106D CAFD) is plug and play
* VO code only

②The year of manufacture was changed from (ex 0315 or 0717) and the type key (ex 6D02) was changed.

I did not need ISTA (+).
