Hey there! I stumbled upon this thread after struggling to get my newly installed bixenon adpative headlights installed in my pre-lci E91 (coming from halogens).

I bought the set from a forum member and supposedly it's 100% functional. The lowbeam xenons come on, but both lights are aimed fully to the right.

I did a clean NFRM load, after I added the VO for both bixenon + AHL optiuons ($522,$524) and I tried to do the ncs expert reset for the LSMC/RSMC, but got a 'no answer from ecu' error. I haven't seen any note about hooking up the headlights to a CAN signal in the junction box under the glovebox.

Could you shed some light on your method? Thanks!

Apparently I was very tired when I got to this part of the wiring a few months ago. I did a dumb and pinned the bus wires to the completely wrong pins in the junction box under the glovebox. Spent about 10 minutes tapping the wires to pins 1 and 2 according to the retrofit guide, and it started working immediately.

Thank you Sensible_ for all the help.
