You will need the LED retrofit wiring harness for your vehicle.
You may be able to swap FRM3 modules, but you will have to get both of them coded to operate in the prospective vehicle.
You may have to order a separate wiring harness for the X6 so that the Xenon Headlights are wired properly...
It will be some work and a few headaches, but definitely worth it!
Nice of your friend to offer the headlights.... the headlights alone are, by far the biggest expense.
DO IT!!!
