Lci Headlight retrofit question

Hally_89 · 05-27-2013, 04:56 PM

Hi lads

I have been looking to do a headlight retrofit conversion on my pre-lci e90. I have got all the information I'm looking on the website except for one piece which I can seem to find any info on. I currently have halogens and I'm going fitting lci halogens with the angel eyes. Now I know that they are direct plug nd play with maybe a bit of coding for the indicator but there's no mention regarding the headlight brackets. I have a set of lci headlights ready to go with brackets but my question is wil the lci headlights fit on the pre lci brackets? They look identical but there may be a variation because of the new shape in the lci front bumper. Maybe someone who has done the conversion may be able to shed some light on it. Reason I'm asking is I can save a bit of money by buying the headlights without the brackets.

Thanks in advance
Brian

The headlights are identically shaped, you should be fine.

Where did you source a complete set of LCI xenons? Curious as I've been on the lookout as well...

A friend of mine picked them up in the UK from a scrap yard. I had trouble trying to get them too. Anyone I rang here in Ireland that had them wanted to sell the whole front end including radiator and all. Have a look around some scrap yards/auto breakers on the Internet and you'll find something.
