Need help coding new headlight

I just brought a new headlight and it came with modules. I need it coded to the car. It comes on and then blinks off . I have no knowledge or coding at all . And I don't know what tools I will need . I do have a MacBook and I have a Bluetooth obd2 plug. Not sure if it helps but I do indeed need help. Thanks

I have going through the same situation that you have, what I think you need to have ENET cable and download 3 software )ESYS and another 2
Then you will be able to have a remote coding service
If already fix that pls share you experience with me since i am still searching

Hi mate I believe you just need to select the cafd and code it

Esys may not be enough.

Because when a new headlight is installed or some of the other components. You also need to run a learn in procedure in ISTA for the LED bulbs.
