Does LED light fit in 2013 f10
I am debating of getting a used 2013 f10 550i xdrive vs new with LED light package. I like the new look with LED. however, if I get a used car I will save a lot of mullah. Can I replace the old xenon headlight with LED? The money saving is ready made me think twice. Your opinions are very appreciative.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. |

It can be retrofitted without issue at all. Just be prepared to dish out about $6K in parts alone and close to $1K in labor & software reprogramming.
In Europe, a blogger got it done at just under $8K+ US (converted from Euros). |

I am asking this question because there is a 2013 550i xdrive with over 15K miles, CPO and additional two years of upgrade maintenance and all options-out the door about $67500. On the other hand, I can get a 2014 with cold weather pkg, LED pkg and M-sport pkg and call it a day for $65500, not including $1500 holiday incentive because I am a usaa member.
I am torn and don't know what to do. |

Me personally, I would take the 2013 CPO and be happy with it as is. The Bi-Xenon Adaptive Head Lights are damn nice too, and if the car is loaded out with an extended CPO warranty, it beats out a nicely equipped 2014 in my book. I keep looking at 2014 LCI Models to replace my 2011, and can't talk myself into it. It just isn't different or improved enough to compel me to make the switch. I am reading the next generation 5-Series is slated to arrive as a 2016 Model, so I think I am just going to wait out 2 more model years on it.

A link to what? There is no official retrofit or list of parts needed. What I provided are the 3 main parts (Light Assemblies, FRM, & ZGW) that I know are needed, and a rough estimate of their cost.

You will need both FRM and ZGW, plus the light modules. Current FRM cannot work with LED, and ZGW is needed as it has new DCAN3 for LED Lights.
