As the title suggest, is it at all possible to install the Adaptive / ICON LED’s to a vehicle with the standard setup?
I am looking to purchase a used pair of headlights, looking to buy one from EU if the price is right. I take it, it doesn’t really matter if the set came off from a Left hand or Right hand vehicle, when coding it in, the option to change the setting for a right hand or left hand car should become available? Any constructive advice would be appreciated. UK late 2017 530e. Last edited by Farravi; 01-22-2019 at 07:39 AM.. |

If you have RHD and switch the headlights for Europe (LHD), then the High Beam Assist no longer works. I've not tried myself as I don't really use the HBA! I'll give it a blast next month when I'm heading into France. Anyway my point is , if you buy a LHD and then switch to RHD (via iDrive menu), it could render the HBA useless. Agreed the ICON's do look pretty cool but IHMO not worth 2.6K, your better off buying some LED turn bulbs from someone like HorizonLED and then coding the bulbs in. |

I want to retrofit the Iconic Adaptive LED headlights onto my 2019 BMW 530E. I do NOT have high-beam assist. I ordered a USED (US Spec) ICONIC Adaptive LED Headlights with all the modules included. Can someone please walk me through exactly what I need in order to do this upgrade and what parts and necessary coding has to be done?

Hi,
Would definitely be interested in both knowing how to retrofit the Icon headlights and HBA as well as be interested in purchasing your headlights if they are still available. |

Happy New Year!
I would like to retrofit my S524 Adaptive Headlights to Full LED Adaptive headlights. The question is, do I need to buy modules for Full LED Adaptive headlights or are they interchangeable with S524 headlights? Thanks

My advice is it's not worth it unless your driving on lots of country secondary roads I wouldn't bother.
Issue with the adaptive lights is if there is a motorway with a median centre it won't see trucks and cars coming and stays on full beam. Then your getting flashed by trucks especially as they sit high: I always have it off on motorways except for on secondary normal roads (white line between each lane)so don't use it that much. It doesn't activate at low town speeds so I find for 90% of my driving here in Ireland it's off or not active due low speeds. |

Retrofitting
I have 2019 bmw 520d g30.
I don't have high beam assist, but can I upgrade standard led lights to adaptive lights only for visual reason? Does it need extra coding and extra hardware? |

I did upgrade from adaptive led to adaptive full led. It needs coding.
