LCD Headlights retrofit

Has anyone done this end-to-end? What's all that's involved in replacing original headlights with new LCD?

1.) LCD lights
2.) 2 modules for lights
3.) bulbs
4.) Footwell -3 (FRM-3) module
5.) Coding

Am I missing anything from this list? Connectors, harnesses ?

Here is a complete BMW X6 E71 LED Headlights retrofit DYI instructions (pdf). Have everything on hand now. Just missing one item, right-hand side (passenger side) LED headlight. Once I find a good deal on it, will get this project going. Can't wait ...

I finally figured it out and completed my LED headlights retrofit. Was a bit scary at first, but then I was able to figure it all out without braking anything

Mine was approximately: $1100 each light + $300 FRM3 + $150 Wire Harness. The rest is history. Two days of enjoyment. Working outside in beautiful Nor-Cal weather.
