Question for you Fritz! For $1200 they are pretty expensive for aftermarket (still way cheaper from BMW, so happy to see that). My question is for $1200 how is the quality of the headlight itself (specifically the bulbs used, the housing, wiring, etc.). For that price, I don't want to buy something that has issues in 2 years with faulty manufacturing errors! Apologies for leaving a comment on the vid and not messaging you directly, you are the only review/install/really any marketing-related content I have seen for a new LCI LED upgrade for the F30! :)
The headlights have weather sealing and seem durable. I personally didn't have to code anything but it's nothing bimmer code can't fix. The LEDs lay on the magenta side of the green/magenta spectrum, but LEDs typically move towards green as they age so the light should get more white as time goes on. I can't speak to the long term durability as I have only used them for about 2 months but so far so good. They do also have a 1 year manufacture warranty. Hope that helps.
@@FritzRamos So, install was simple and easy. I did the BIMMERCODE changes but something isn't right. When I unlock my car, the top yellow lights flicker and sometimes aren't on or randomly flash. When I turn the headlights on, everything works fine. Maybe it has to do with the side marker choices since there aren't anymore side markers? What do you think?
Awesome channel Fritz’s , I have a 2017 330 ix , halogen bulbs with non angel eye led park lights . The car is perfect except for the headlights . This video gave me the confidence to change the headlights myself .
You could put LED bulbs in there, the ones with high power voltage that give serious brightness, halogen is just the bulb type not the lamp housing itself, the LED head light from BMW is the same it only has LED as beams.
Hi Fritz, I am looking to upgrade the headlights on my 2014 F30. You posted the video about a year ago. I would appreciate any updates (or 1 year review) you provide on the quality of the product you installed in this video.
This is amazing, been looking for this as my F36 440i 2018 (bought second hand in 2020) came with 2 unusual things: 18 inch wheels, even the dealer where dumbstruck as to why, and non-LCI lights like this. It was an early demo and only owned by BMW South Africa. Got it for a steal with only 6000kms on the clock, but the lights and wheels bug me. So this is GOOOOOOOOD news.
Likewise. Bought a BMW 340i, literally has everything, including digital cluster, 360 camera system, heads up display, 19" rims, except for the LED headlights. Been looking how to get second hand OEM LCI LED's but there aren't any coverage of replacing the headlights with these. Think this is a good replacement without hassles.
@@FritzRamos Honestly, i kinda just want to get the Kies Motorsports Depo style halo ones. It comes with projector housing and led halo's already built in. It's like $660, and throw in some LED/HID bulbs and it should be alright. I'm leaning more towards that option since its cheaper, but the LCI headlights are very nice too. May just have to save up for them. :O Any suggestions on which bulb to run on the depo style ones? Thank you for reading this!!
@@adonismorales9363 The Depo ones and the projectors are of similar design, but those are often sold out too. You can see what the projectors look like with LEDs in this video ua-cam.com/video/6_sHAjVi-jU/v-deo.html These are the ones I used: amzn.to/3AQDujO
@@adonismorales9363 No problem. I honestly can't speak for the Depo lights, but if you want you can get the LED bulbs I sent and put them in the Halogen enclosure. If it's still not bright enough, you can buy the projectors from that video and put those same LED bulbs in there.
Hello! Your videos are very well made and explicit! I also have a few questions, can the UK electric folding mirrors and adaptive LED headlights be installed on a non-lci BMW F30 with European bi-xenon only with coding? Best regards, Octavian!
Hi, im fitted my new led headlights bmw oem to my 2014 bmw f32 originally came in with xenon. I need only coding or do i need also to change wiring connector? They dont work...
Just saw your video now. Great presentation and demo! I have the same car in Melbourne Red as well and it has the halogens. I'm considering my options for upgrading. I thought about just swapping out the bulbs for LEDs which would be the most cost effective but it won't have the angel eyes look. I like the body style of the F30 - has the more classic BMW look compared to the G20 generation. I have to say that the G20 definitely has the more modern technology esp with Android Auto, etc. i thought about trading up but i would lose a ton of money. What are your thoughts about the 2 generations?
this looks amazing. my 2013 pre-LCI F30 is right-hand-drive and comes with xenon headlamps. i'm been searching for a fuss-free plug-and-play upgrade to the LCI LED look and functionality. will this work on RHD..?
I got the USR LCI headlights and the low and high beam patterns are dangerously bad driving at night. Idk if I got a bad housing or what I’m supposed to do to fix them. Looks nothing like yours does on the road
Great video! Just wanted to ask how yellow are those lights? It looks white in your nighttime shots but a lot more like the Halogens in color in your daytime shots.
@@FritzRamos the night vision isn't clear anymore, I can barely see the road at night. In fact, given that I blackout out the chrome inside the headlight housing, there is no more fight reflecting from those panels. It seems I need brighter Low Beam and High beam LED's. The current LED's aren't bright enough. I think they are 6000K or 8000K. I probably need something like 12000K or 16000K lumens.
Great video, I'm thinking of buying these headlights for my Lci f30 that has stock halogens. I want to know if you can code out the turn indicator so that during normal use its not illuminated only when you do use the indicators? I'm in the UK and don't like the idea of having the turn indicator illuminated all the time.
This headlights go up and down like auto calibration when you start up the car or they stay still and dont move at all, also can you lower the beam from the inside switch?
I upgraded my 2012 f30 halogen lights to LCI LEDs and coded them with bimmercode. Once coded, the lights come on for approximately 10 seconds before flickering and turning off. Any ideas as to why this is happening? How can this be resolved? Thanks.
Did anyone else notice that they weren’t in sync w the mirror lights w the hazards on? Are they in sync w the turn signals or no?? For $1200 they better be in sync all around anyway😅
I bought a 2016 320d and the right headlight is not working at all. I’m using the left one and fog lights. The whole right one is not functioning including the front right turn signal. “• Lighting system front right failure • Headlight vertical aim control failure” These are the errors displayed on the screen. I’ve been to a number of BMW specialists and they all say different things and it’s very confusing. Some say change the whole light, some say you need new modules for your right headlight. Any help?
Hi Ramos...have same car hace a question do you upgrade as well the fog ligth bulb to LED? If yes wich one you have..cause i upgrade mine and even when i code my car the Led bulbs still on like in soft mode...any sugestion ? Thanks
Hello Fritz. I have recently changed my bmw 330e 2017 left headlights lci led. however, I tried to code it but I am unsuccessful as the bimmercode says: red dot says FRONT LIGHT Left - "coding data invalid and should be restored using a back up" and as soon as I press the SELECT Back UP - it will say no back up available. Would please give me your thoughts on how I can make it work please. I have already spent 70£ for the veepeak obd and the subscription to bimmercode. Thank you. and best wishes.
Hey bro I need your help. I had a helgon and I bought LCI headlights. Do I need the wiring? Because it's not working. Plz I need your help! Pls let me know!
where do i buy the mountign screws kit for headglights? i wrecked my car so bad that my headlights are completely destroyed and i dont have any screws left
quick question do i have buy these headlights for the conversion or can i just buy them off any other part out and still be able to do the conversion. If i can buy them off of any part out do i need any other things before i do the conversion. I have a 2017 330i Lci equipped with halogen headlights.
Hello Fritz, one question. My headlights were stolen (BMW LED from factory) I just got another pair, If I make the coding through BimmerCode is it risky for the modules while programming if Im not expert, or I just have to active all the modes as you said in your video? What would you recommend? Thanks!
@@FritzRamos do you have any details on how to aim the LCD headlights? I don’t see any adjustment holes and I reached out to Silicon Valley Bimmer and haven’t heard back…
