sorry for the trouble, you will really help me out.
my best regards!
+1 pictures would be useful! I'm considering taking the plunge!
Thanks in advance
To anyone wanting images read the whole thread there are other photos in there and also a much easier method than shown in the first post
Hello. Can I code the car while old lights are still connected? Will this damage anything because of the higher voltage? I need this because the body work will be done by one guy and the electricity and coding by the other. That's why I would like to make the coding first at the electricity guy and drive with old lights to the body shop.

Or maybe vice versa mate. Could wire everything up (correctly to facelift) and leave the lights off till you get the chance to code them. Not having enough voltage can't do harm? But I'm sure having it the other way round would...
Will also be in the same boat so nice to know what options are available
For what it's worth a rear bumper should be pretty cheap to pick up 2nd hand and in the right colour too. Finishes it all off nicely. Slightly different lines too...
It's if you're after a M bumper that you'll need more dolla!
Sorry about some pics. Best ones I could find in Titan to match and compare Marius's one.

Sorry to dig up an old thread,but I will be attempting this most likely in the morning or at least over the next few days... can someone confirm the easiest / best route to take?
I have the facelift rear lights, the facelift surrounds, and an M facelift rear bumper so really it's just the light wiring / coding I need confirmation on. Does it have to be done via NCSExpert? Can it be done with Carly? (I ask as even though I have ncsexpert working, I've no idea how to use it) and is it as simple as changing the wire order in the plug as found in this guide here: https://www.motor-talk.de/blogs/audi-a3-codieren-umbauen-tipps-und-tricks-fuer-einsteiger/projekttagebuch-umbau-bmw-z4-e85-vorfacelift-auf-facelift-rueckleuchten-t3319777.html
Many thanks in advance

In order for someone to help, they need to know what's actually wrong!
1) Have you checked your wiring? - Can you provide pics?
2) Is your model Xenon or Halogens as STANDARD, and are the new headlights halogen? (Most aftermarket ones are halogen only)
3) Have you coded them in? - Did you use ISTA? INPA? Or Carly?
4) Are you 100% sure the lights were working beforehand.
I'll leave it there to start
yes, sorry, you're right, I forgot to put the parameters. Then;
1) the wiring has been checked by two electricians so it's right.
2) the front headlights are aftermarket with angeleye and halogens
3) I have not codified them because I can not find anyone able to do it! also in Bmw they rejected me as they were not the native E85 headlights.
4) now I do not know if the headlights work because the electricians have done a lot of tests but I'm willing to change them.
5) The biggest problem is that the LED headlights behind turning on the position also lights me a little stop.
I'm from Malonno in Vallecamonica (Brescia) and I absolutely need someone to codify the control unit. I have a 3.0 of 2003.

When you say they do not work, do neither of the lights illuminate at all? Or do you have some bulbs with light and others that do not?
I've got a R53 xenon and plugged halogens in, and everything worked fine. So I'm sure the e85 will be the same or at least very similar. Are the front lights second hand? The electricians have confirmed that the units themselves are working?
Rear lights if wired up correctly will light up but give the "T" effect. But they should still light up and function... Are you sure you swapped the wires around for the rear lights? It will not be plug and play, some cables need to be swapped round.
