F55/F56 Upgrading halogen headlights to pre-lci?
Upgrading halogen headlights to pre-lci?
Hi all. I'm absolutely sick of the garbage stock halogen headlights. I tried LED bulbs in the stock housings for all of 5min and they made it even worse. I found a vendor willing to sell me a set of pre-LCI LED headlights from a wrecked car but I've seen a lot of conflicting information online about if they'll work. Will they work? Will I need to re-pin the connector? Will they need to be coded? Will I need a headlight level sensor? There's GOT to be someone who's done this already.

Yea i saw those on your site and that was gonna be my next move. But if I could spend $350 for two OEM pre-LCI headlights, I would much prefer to do that instead of over $1k on a brand I've never heard of.
Ok, let me know as i just updated a older review above with them installed.

No I didn't. I watched this YouTube video about what it takes and holy hell is it complicated.
I may still get the aftermarket ones from ECS but that's on the back burner for now (at least until they do a sale. lol).
We just started a sale on our Ziza lighting. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ziza-par...ng-headlights/

We just has a name change. Same great product. Also we can have them fall into lifetime replacement under one of our key brands. 
If it was in that brand we would support it but now to new buyers it shows its covered. So it reassures them.
