Did you resolve the headlight issue I've read about? My X3 has the "adaptive/active" headlights so I would prefer to keep those, but, the LED lights are probably better anyway.

Thanks!
To be honest I do not recommend doing the facelift, making the headlights work properly is a big headache. I deactivated my adaptive headlights because the non-stop error messages were killing me. Also my high-beams have not worked ever, until recently I have figured out a way to make them work. Also, there is probably no way to make the angel eyes work since in the LCI vehicles the DRLs are controlled differently. I might actually be able to fix the adaptive issue, but still figuring that out. Lastly, LED fogs wont work, they will flicker even after coding. If your car had halogen headlight and you switched everything to LCI with halogen headlights, that would work fine.

Front bumper L+R bazels ($90)
Tow Hook Cover ($18)
Front bumper engine shield adapter ($40)
Headlight washer caps ($50)
LED fog lights L+R ($110)

Headlights (bi-xenon in this case) ($970)

M-Sport fender wheel arches (can't find the total price)
M-Sport side skirts L+R ($280)
M-Sport rear bumper ($120)
M-Sport diffuser (not bought yet)

I also installed high line LCI A/C heater control panel ($75)

Hey have you tried looking at getting an auto electrician. You might have to code them into the computer. Please let me know im hoping to do the same.

That looks great, is it plug & play or does anything have to be modified/coded?

This is awesome. If I end up with an X3 I will try the same thing.
