If the car is factory equipped with Xenons, changing the light assemblies to LED ones won't work, right?

I am sure this is possible with the appropriate re-coding.

It's do-able, but requires too much effort. If you want Anti-glare feature a simpler option might be to get the Euro Xenon headlights and see how that goes. You can always resell them if they don't work out.

I tried to pull a part # from ETK database, there's so many part numbers available (15+), I'm lost.
I guess adaptive LED headlight would be the best choice?

Wow! Did you really go ahead and disassemble the headlights on your brand new M3? You are a brave man.

Ha ha ha Yes I did, honestly I was surprised how easy was to loosen up bumper and pull out headlight.

 

[MarkoM3]

Unrelated, but passat Xenons with roller.

 

[MarkoM3]

Yeah, but not sure about replacing any of these precision electronics. Plus, once you open the headlight assembly chance it will leak water in is too great to ignore.

While removing headlight, no chamber was water sealed except when you pull out xenon bulb. Is that what you talking about?

If you have a post-LCI 535dx, it looks like the part numbers are 63117343907/8 for the Euro AHL Xenons and 63117352481/2 for the Euro LEDs (but you should of course confirm this if you decide to go ahead). There is a very small difference in MSRPs between the AHL Xenons and the LEDs, so the LEDs might be the way to go.

Actually, I believe that shutter=klappe. This is not the roller (walze).

I was talking about if you have to disassemble the headlight. It happened to me before and it was a failure, it was leaking water after. Happened long time ago when angel eyes were retrofitted in old X5s. Scared to touch mine now, lol.

There is no Euro X5 35dX in the database (it is probably a US-only model). Assuming that the parts for the Euro X5 30dX and X5 35iX fit, the Euro AHL Xenons are 63117317105/6 and the Euro LEDs are 63117442647/8 (this is a new part number for vehicles starting production this month).

i got scared just by watching it. it is almost like watching an open heart surgery.

I post a Flap video in Bi-xenons, we are out of luck getting No Dazzle Tunnel feature. My SZL is otw and I will be happy to get Glare Free High Beam Assistance. If with incoming traffic left light switches to low beam and right stays high beam while moving away from driver, I am fine with that. Bottom line it will be better than what I have now.

 

[MarkoM3]

Plus Auto High Beam is help too, O well, maybe in future we will dig up all Tech info on EU Bi-xenons with rollers.

What you're describing is called the Glare Free High Beam. The tunnel is part of this process, however, since our cars have flaps, the tunnel is Not created so while one headlight switches to low and other stays in high. The one that is high is still glaring the driver in front of you.

I thought KAFAS will move it away from driver !!! At least that was my understanding watching all those Bi-xenon glare free videos.

))))) no, it wasn't that bad. For first time I was actually very happy and confident after removing parts "blindly" ( no instructions etc). It was much easier than what I was expecting.

Someone, please help me code HBA on my F15.
This is what I've coded so far with no luck:
(BDC_BODY) FLA_AKTIVIERUNG --> LDS_in_A
(KAFAS2) FLA_ON_OFF --> FLA_on
(HU_NBT) HIGH_BEAM_ASSISTANT --> activ

There's no FRM ECU and I can't find FLA_AUTO_ACTIV
