High beam works with the shutter of the projector opening + the inner high beam bowl shining. I coded out my one error code.

Also please post the link where did you buy the angel eyes and what size.

I did paint the reflectors, but I would advise against it because it makes the turn signal much less visible. I had to go out and buy LED turn signals.

The high beam reflector was painted because I damaged the chrome.

I don't have any pictures currently, but I can take a picture tomorrow.

Choosing e90 LCI assumes that you have a xenon setup. If you don't, ask them for an 11x and 9x ring.

Also, please make sure you aim your projectors correctly. I don't think I listed the process in the right order on the DIY.

I have a question , I know sorry for reviving , anyway . I just got some lci headlights and they are the reflector type as well. I had retrofitted the pre lci lights with the Morimoto h1 7.0 and I used angel eyes off eBay(which work great) . they look to have the same wiring as the Umnitza Orion v2/v4 , with the relay , wires and fuse . I just wanted to know after you wire the connectors from the aftermarket angel eyes to the OEM wiring in the headlight what do you mean by
"solder the Orion’s wiring box wire to the OEM angel eye connectors." do you happen to have a more detailed version on how you did it , possibly with photos ? thank you
