Euro Halogen Lights Retrofit Help Please!
I have been looking for a set of lights to remove the amber corners as well as add angel eyes to my 08 with factory halogens. I don't have much interest in doing the full xenon conversion at the moment as I can't quite justify the costs involved. I stumbled across these Headlights and they look to be exactly what I'm looking for at a perfect price point. Only issue is "Reamark: For vehicles with headlight levelling (electric). With servo motor for LDR. "
To my knowledge my headlamps on my pre-lci have manual adjusters only. I do not have an adjust wheel on my headlamp selector. I know the lights will obviously will fit in the whole and light up. My question is, how will I align and level the lights? Will I throw codes / need coding? Can I just never use the extra bits of electronics and finally not have to look at those ugly amber corners on my silver car? Last edited by E90X; 04-15-2013 at 01:18 PM.. |

I bought a pair of LCI halogens a couple months ago, and mine were shipped from England. According to the fellow I bought them from, the Euro halogens have the electronic leveling that you mentioned (which is controlled by a button/scroll button near the headlight switch in the Euro cars). When I bought mine I noticed the motor in the back of the housing, which is why I found out about this. My car does not have the electronic feature like the Euros do, and everything was still plug and play (no errors). I plugged them in and everything worked and I have never had a problem with the lights. You should have any issues with it. Hope that helps! |

I wonder if there is a way to buy the euro light switch and get the electronic adjusters to work, not to mention rear fogs... |

I don't know about the euro switch. It would depend on if the wiring is there or not. If the wiring is there I would think it would be p&p. |

The AEs do work by parking lights, but the orange parking lights come on in addition. You could get this coded out, though (corner delete). I haven't done any coding myself, but I've heard it's easy to DIY. Might be worth checking into so you can avoid any surprises. |
