LCI LED retrofit kit

Konig Ludwig · 06-13-2013, 03:53 PM

I've read from other posts that there is an LCI LED retrofit kit for older F10's?

If this is true, does anyone know how much it costs and part numbers etc?

are you sure? it would be very expensive to do that, i dont think the dealer want to replace it. however, the new headlight is pretty good

Who made this kit, I am sure is not made by BMW.

That IS BMW's new light design. Looks just like my co-workers CLS550.

That's going to be a bit difficult to do..... The LCI is not a simple light assembly exchange as there are subtle changes on the whole front bumper........... I don't think the LCI LED will fit without modification to pre-LCI front bumper. And I think the LCI LED will require a different light control module than the xenon pre-lci f10.....

Would the LCI xenon headlight be a straight swap ? Or require coding, new wiring harness, new modules?

My question is for the LCI xenon unit and not the LED

How can you possibly know this? The parts aren't even out yet.

MELLOWYELLOW06 · 06-17-2013, 04:26 PM

I dont know. As a matter of fact, IMO they look to be the same body.
I was just highlighting the point mlai was making because there seemed to
be a slight misunderstanding. I would like to get them if possible!

im more curious as to the taillights.

new on the left.

Konig Ludwig · 06-24-2013, 03:05 PM

So any update on this retrofit "kit", or is it just BS from other members?

Teemo Panda · 06-24-2013, 03:14 PM

It's really possible to retro fit if money isn't a problem.

I read somewhere in the X1 section that they bought the BMW OEM parts and constructed the headlight assembly and installed it onto the car

Have you got the kits you were searching for? Even I am looking for led kit for older F10's

nope, just random comments from members claiming it exists

AC_S5 · 06-25-2013, 08:54 PM

Personally, I think it looks cheesy if you done LCI modifications to your pre LCI car and that it can be spotted.

Just get yourself the LCI version and save yourself some trouble

Konig Ludwig · 09-05-2013, 01:37 PM

Any updates on this? Parts? Pricing? DIY?

bobblehead · 09-05-2013, 01:59 PM

couple of guys over at M5 forum did the retrofit. Cost was $5000+ US ... but that was in Europe.
