And then 2 ground wires but they can be attached to the ground hubs in the front right near the headlights so they don't need to be run through the car. Total 8 wires to each headlight and you can buy the headlight connectors as well as all the other connectors.
Some ppl have used some splicing of other existing power cables but i'm not sure that's the safest as each headlight power line needs a unique fuse just for itself.
Its not the easiest retrofit but its definitely doable..

Thank you! Finally something that give me some clearance!
This is very helpfull and makes sense, do i need new connectors as well?
What about the FRM, do you know if i can use my old one?

Honestly I don't have the answer to that. But I know if you look up FRMs on Bmwfans or realo, you find the same part number between LCI and Non LCI cars starting 10/6 build dates.. so if you have anything newer, you should be fine. But do double check that you have the FRM3 module and not just FRM
