05 Halogen headlamp swap to OEM Xenon headlamp

I know somewhere on this forum it has been talked about but I'm having difficulties getting a correct answer. If I swap xenon headlights into my 05 R52, will the dealer be able to flash my computer in order to get rid of the flickering?

Assuming you have all the required parts correctly installed and connected, I do believe a dealer ECU flash, telling the system it has xenons, should fix the flickering, although some people have miraculously not required this...

Yes, the dealership has to do a flash. Reference this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...n-flicker.html.
