lci headlight

luckystrike · 03-17-2010, 05:37 PM

hello guys someone is selling me his xenon lci headlights unit for 300 dollars pair and i was just wondering will it fit my 2006 e90 ? and is the installation is not dificult? i have also a xenon headlight

MalM3 · 03-17-2010, 05:43 PM

cannot fit an LCI xenon headlamp to a pre LCI xenon vehicle, because of the LED side markers

The car will register a lack of resistance in the LEDs, and register a bulb faliure
Also, im not even sure the connecters are the same for pre LCI to LCI versions

Hope this helps
Br Andrew

Yes, they fit. You will need some resistors for the LED blinkers so you dont throw bulb codes.

luckystrike · 03-17-2010, 06:21 PM

hmm which one is correct im just wondering if the size is the same or not and about the led side marker is the only problem for the lci?

JayKay335i · 03-17-2010, 06:25 PM

I am correct.

Plenty of people go from non-LCI halogen headlights to LCI xenon headlights with HIDs. Plenty of people have also gone from pre-LCI to LCI xenons. No big deal. Plug and play I believe.

+1.

Though are you sure these are OEM? Real LCI lights are quite a bit more expensive than $300, and you don't want a cheap knockoff because they're terrible.

Yes you can switch them. The fit exactly the same, the only issue is the resistors for the LED's. $300 seems extremely low though...

300 dollars for a pair of new LCI xenon lights?!

Where do I sign up?! That is a STEAL.

You may want to make sure it comes with the ballasts, bulbs and the cornering LEDs. If not, the housing itself is still a pretty good deal.

He doesn't need the ballasts and all that. He already has xenons. Hes just switching to LCI.
