Replacing Xenon with LEDs?

DallasF10M5 · 10-20-2017, 04:29 PM

I'm looking at buying a 2014 M5. It has everything I want except for the Adaptive LEDs. How much would it cost to swap out the Xenons for the LEDs?

Thanks!

OEM lights go for around 4K I believe

It’s possible, but you’ll need to find the one person who has done it before on here, and do everything yourself. Study the wiring diagrams of your current modules, pin out which control cables correlate to the new modules for the LCI lights and wire everything up.

Or you’ll need to buy replica LED’s which I don’t think they have for LCI cars yet.

It would be easier to sell your car and buy one with LED lights.

i did the LED conversion on my M4. I spent $2k on the lights alone and luckily for me there was someone on the forums who made a custom wiring harness for the lights to work with some coding. prob be easier for you just to buy the unmitza LED lights and save some time and money.
