Replaced Old Adaptive Bi-Xenons w/ Newer Adaptive Bi-Xenons- Coding Required?

frankthetoad · 02-21-2019, 09:28 AM

I purchased from here some OEM adaptive bi-xenons to replace the ones on my 2011 E90 335i because my lenses had a lot of clouding on the inside. The removal and install wasn't the easiest task, but I got it done. I do have a manual leveling issue with one of the headlights, but I'm also getting three errors related to the adaptive lights and right and left cornering:

Is there some coding I need to do to resolve these errors, or could this be a mechanical malfunction of some kind?

That is most likely mechanical. If they’re LCI headlights they should be plug and play if you had adaptive bi-xenon before. Check for the dreaded “lazy eye”.

I thought(could be wrong) that the cornering lights don't move, they just illuminate as needed. Possible the cornering bulbs in the new headlights are bad/missing...?
