You might need to change the FRM module, if your car is older than 10/2009 (or something like that) and buy two adaptive modules for the headlights, if your car was not equipped with adaptive headlights from the factory. If you want you can also change the sprayers for the headlights, since they are different for the LEDs. The retrofit kit includes the headlights and necessary wires. BTW there is a reference for the EBA (which are instructions for the installation from BMW provided for all their dealers). Shove this in your dealers face and tell them you're writing a complaint. BUT Do not let them do the installation, since they will probably ack it up. Cheers.

63132297442 seems to be the retrofit OEM # for the LED's for X5 E70's and X6 E71's 61359287252, this is the part # for the new FRM module that replaces the old one. Last edited by motex; 05-01-2013 at 10:04 AM.. |

They left it overnight doing the coding, but coding was included in the price of the retrofit package, so I really don't know exactly how many hours took to recode it, I do know there were a good amount of coding hours but not sure how many sorry

Apparently BMW North America have not issued a retrofit package for our market yet..
Motex I see you live in Costa Rica...is your Retrofit European Spec? My advisor indicated that the only retro kit is a Euro one. Anyone else know of a NA retrofit bulletin?
