F10 Headlights Chinese LED

550 F10 2014 The client is restoring the car after an accident in the front end, decided to save on headlights and bought a Chinese version instead of the original LED ones. Of course, we installed these headlights, but the Chinese version was intended for cars with HID headlights and in order for the headlights to work normally without errors on the dash, we had to change the wiring and reprogram the FRM module. Please read the product descriptions before purchasing, this will help save a lot of money and time.

Hello

Will you help me solve the problem? I bought replacements from China Adaptive LED, can you show the diagram of connecting these lamps and coding what needs to be done?

Read carefully which version these headlights are for. The headlights we installed were designed for simple xenon, not adaptive. And the car was originally equipped with the original LED. We redid the wiring and reprogrammed the FRM

Pretty sure you also lose the adaptive functionality. You save money, but you also just get "dumb" lights, not worth it IMO.

That said, if the customer gives it the stamp, fucking send it.
