eBay: facelift front and rear lights!

Post by Scooba_Steve » Sun May 21, 2017 9:37 am

The wiring shouldn't be too hard to map (if it is possible) but the programming might take a lot of trial and error... I haven't studied the differences between the two on WDS nor have I compared traces from a pre and post Xenon LCM though. If someone really wanted to take the plunge I'd happily do some investigating.

This ^

I spent months looking into this and it's pretty much impossible. Different kit entirely to the prefacelift xenons that requires cracking open the control unit and reprogramming. Never found anyone willing or capable to do this.

If you want clear pre facelift xenons, cut n shut is the only option really.
I thought it was possible. Just needed some coding (and possibly wire cannibalising)? :?
