Sorry mang- I have a pre-lci xenon so I believe we are working with different beasts. Wish I could be of more help! Hope you get things figured out... Im sure a little trial and error will bring you to a solution.
I'm gonna dive into this myself this weekend... Just got my rings today! So pumped. Besides wiring though- the only other obstacle with the rings is figuring out a sure-fire way to mount them to the lci xenons. Any ideas?

not at all. Popping the pin connector in has already been mentioned along with pushing out the three plugs you see on the wires. The last bit was the ballast wires that were around a plastic prong that is pretty hard to see. I pushed them over the prong with a small fork from my kitchen. Wasn't really hard at all. Makes switching pins, soldering or splicing a lot easier this way.

I ordered the missing components today. I missed this post a while back. There must be a way to find some type of 2 to 1 adapter or make one so it is completely reversible and OEM. Anyone know where I could get the components I need? I can take close up shots of the harness as I have it removed.

http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1872438 Did the plastic get all mangled up? In the other thread they keep going on about an oscillating tool and how it can be done in 30 mins. |

can you take close up pics where the lens meets the housing on the finished and unfinished ones?
They look excellent btw. Good work. Saved yourself at least $500. What paint did you use? |

I am trying to make a harness but I can't find the headlight pins and receptacles from bmw. It is pretty easy if you can get those two male and female pieces.
