Lci pre lci confusion

[Nick91303]

So I have a question. On my 07 525xi I have xenon headlights and I have noticed they turn when I turn the steering wheel.. I have read in a couple threads that the LCI headlights are the ones that do that NOT the pre lci? Am I wrong? Can some one help me figure out if my headlights are lci or pre lci????

You probably have an LCI car. You can see the difference on this picture.

Nope I have pre lci... thank you for the picture for clearing that up...I hate the amber corners and wish I could find a decent price pair of LCI. I have the cable and software to code them just don't know how to code yet lol. I just got the software this weekend and havnt had time to really play with it yet in the car. I'm actually looking for help with coding the halos as my drl and want to know if I can brighten them or what's a good led bulb to install. I have blue in there now I just can't stand that yellow amber color UGLY lol

But the adaptive light following the steering wheel turn was available because my 2006 X5 has it.

2007 models were pre-LCI. They can be equipped with adaptive headlamps. These turn when the steering wheel turns.

Changing to LCI headlamps is more involved than just coding. I believe there is some wiring involved, as well as replacing the Lamp Module with one from an LCI model. You'd have to buy new, as LM's are coded to a particular VIN. That is, if you want them to work properly with no error codes on your dash every time you start the car.

This is going off topic but I would like to know where you got your angel lights from?

[Nick91303]

Got them from eBay. I don't like then to be honest. I am gonna order brighter ones. These where only 5w bulbs. I'm gonna see what the highest I can get. And maybe the same blue or a lighter more aqua blue

During the day time you really can't see them.. I'm trying to figure out how to code my halos as my drl lights but have not figured that out yet. I have asked around but no luck on replys

To code for daytime halos running lights, you need a LCI car or replace the LM with a LM2 module, change vehicle order and code it in.

Just to set the record straight (and get back on topic), adaptive headlights are NOT just an LCI feature. They came with pre-LCI cars also.

Yes I have learned that now. Thank you.. I have also check on a sight entered the last 7 of my vin and found the part number for the LM modual and found out my 07 DOES have the LM2 . So next couple months I'm off of work due to a surgery so I will start playing more with the coding and learning how to do more with it and turn on off more things.
