LCI XENON Headlight Questions NEED ANSWERS!

convinceme · 12-25-2008, 07:26 PM

Ok I own a 2006 E90 330i that is fully loaded, has the Adaptive xenon headlights in front with the ugly Orange amber strip, I've been reading on LCI headlights? Still confused about them though, I guess someone named Longtran put on Halogen LCI's on an E90? What I want to know is Can I put on the NEW XENON LCI 09 headlights on my E90? Is it a plug n' play? And I'm talking about the headlights with the LED turn indicators inside.
I've done my best on searching about this stuff mabye some of you guys that know the answers can help me out, Oh as well if it is possible to do:
1. How much?
2. Where do I buy them from.
3. Give me names to contact(people on the forum/sponsors)
4. If anyone has done it (no halogens sorry) show me what it looks like! THANKS!

Imo the best bet is to get the 09 euro lights cause they look stunning.

Don't know anything about the LCI as I have a euro bimmer myself, sry.

Read the question. 2009 Euro headlights and LCI's are the same thing

I have the same as you regarding Adaptive/Xenons and would like to know the same answer.....anyone??

There is an ongoing post in the appearance section on headlamps from the LCI

SGxi · 12-26-2008, 09:48 PM

PM longtran or ADHD, who are members here. They have sources to locate them.

However, I don't think anyone knows if they are complete plug and play and I can imagine some of the plugs are not the same as the ones on the older cars.

Kev helped me out there. there is a link to the euro adaptive HLs. should be plug and play....these are pre-facelift headlights.

FYI: 09s don't fit on 08

It can be done. I do not know of anyone yet that has actually done it though. I believe it just takes a minor rewiring to make the angel eyes work. Similar to what I had to do to make E92 Xenons work on my E90. If you are serious about doing it. By far...the way to go is Longtran. He can do it all for you at the best price.

exo-ak-dk · 12-27-2008, 08:18 PM

pm longtran....i dont think it's plug and play....you have to do some wiring for sure!

FrankiE90 · 12-28-2008, 04:12 AM

1. more than reg AHL euro's. almost double the cost a set.
2. dealer or PM Longtran
3. Longtran
4.

have u considered AHL EURO lights?
it's pictured above on that e90.
amber gone and cheaper than LCI and works/ plug n play.

Wake27 · 12-28-2008, 04:43 AM

I saw those in another thread, think its closed now. I assume those are different than the OEM 09 headlights (which I believe the op is talking about?), if they are, how so?

It just irritates me.

I see that M-sport packages are available starting 1JAN, you won't see me parting together my car with these items, nor will I be retrofitting it so that it looks like the next latest model.

I am happy with my car, even while knowing that it's not the fastest or "best" model out there. Yes I drool at the M3, but I just have to wait until I can AFFORD it, I'm not going to buy body kits and slap an M3 badge on.

Hi Guys,

I've an E90 Face lift the dealer had one on the way without Xenon and i jumped without knowing that the retrofit could be difficult

. is it possible to buy the above lights and just plug it in ? dont mind the missing adaptive feature.

Thanks,
A

Hi,

the posted pic was done by me.

A conversion is not a plug'n'play-job.

BMW offers this possibility, BUT you have to replace the lights, the footwell module and the rear lights (as far they have no LED turn signals).
After that you have to do a remap at your dealer.

I could offer the complete set of lights, but the rest would be up to you.

alanchan · 03-02-2009, 04:33 PM

hey Sui,

is that you in the picture?
thank GOD I did not choose the LCI xenon, I do not know you have to do footwell module etc....
I am sure I will be happy with my new LCI halo...
thank you very much.
