Xenons/Adaptive lights aftermarket fitting
Has anyone successfully installed Xenons on a non xenon F30 car?
I have Xenons with high beam but not adaptive.. all this talk about the dancing lights is making me jealous even though my driving is 99% city driving.. Wondering if it is possible to convert the light or what would it take to get the dancing lights? |

If it wasn't for the sales persons being away for a week, on the week before my car was built I had the intentions of adding them to my spec and it would only have costed an extra £60 bux... |

It could well be as simple as changing headlights and coding! Still won't be cheap though, unless you manage to find a second hand pair of adaptive headlights and sell yours, then it shouldn't be too bad! You should get £400-500 each for yours complete. |

Since your car is spec'd with high beam assist, then your xenon should be dancing albeit not in London as they're street lights everywhere. From my knowledge, adaptive lighting help drivers see better on dark, curved and hilly roads by casting the beams and activating individual fog lights.
While the dancing lights means high beam assist or am I loosing it?! |

As I have High Beam Assist, the indicator stick already has the switch for auto beam which is the same as the one used with adaptive.. Honestly I dont think its worth the hassle and like you said should have specced it but if it hadn't been for this for I would have never known about the dancing lights.. the issue i had is my sales man was pretty naive with little production knowledge, when i added the m sport plus package + high beam assist he never mentioned i could add the adaptive lights for £60 extra.. the configurator shows the visibility pack at full price when you add the M Sport +, although it does adjust at a later stage.. Anyways, xenons are pretty powerful and do the job theyre supposed to do well.. |
