WTB --- Headlight Control Module Coding

Hey All,

Just purchased a used headlight off ebay. After replacing the headlight and inserting the new module i am having issues with the light. Below are the issues and I am wondering if someone can remote into my laptop and code the issues, i can install what ever software is needed, i currently have Esys installed and the OBD II/ Ethernet cable.

-Current Issues-
-Halos do not work
-Adaptive headlight malfunction
-left turn signal

What was wrong with the old headlight? If the old module is still good, I'd just swap it out for the old module.

I bought a headlight module off ebay 2 years back. The module had to be adapted to the ECU, thru ISTA+, done by my mech. Was not a direct PnP kinda thing, which i had hoped for.

Similar issue, caused damage to module and headlight connection, a used headlight that has the module in it, should work without programming.

ended up paying $800 for a used headlight and it ended up being defective and was passed the ebay return window fml...

Now trying to figure out the next step in replacing the headlight.

I would try either using original AHL module off you old headlight or buying this eBay one I bought last month. Worked flawlessly and only cost $70 plus shipping. I don't know how to paste the eBay link but this is the title of it. You will need to have it coded after for the adaptive lights to work properly but your turn signal and halo lights should work

I bought a replacement one off ebay as well but that didnt help, might just get custom headlights at this point vs paying 3500 at BMW for a replacement.

The housing was damaged. I was offering it up to the OP for parts. Innards are good, but housing is broken from when it was ripped from my car.
FREE.
