Question Replacing headlight. Coding Required?

Hi All,

I have a 320D M SPORT G20, my wife recently bumped the car in to a parking post & only damaged the headlight thankfully.. but Laser headlights are £2,800 at dealer so I opted to buy a used light, without any control modules on it. Thinking it would be a plug and play scenario.

After installing my old lights control modules to the new light, I fit the light on the car & it doesn't seem to be starting up.

Does the light need to be coded in? If so, any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

Also

BMW won't help with the issue as the headlight is "used" and not purchased directly from them.

If you tranfer the moduls as well no coding is needed, just plug and play
