The installation differs depending on whether my X1 is currently equipped with halogen lights or LED lights. In short, if I already have Led lights, it's much easier...
But how to know if I'm in one or the other case? I guess the manual refers to the rear lights of course. Mine are from a EU-type January 2017 X1. Its bulbs are halogen type. The front lights: I don't know. They look like Xenon or Led. Not halogen ones anyway.
Any help would be appreciated 
Did any of us already do this retrofit?
Attached is an English translation of the original instructions in German.
Many thanks. |
Hello my friend.
I told you that you will need two more wires (each for every outer taillight) with the connectors.
This is because the outer taillights have 3 wires on the Halogen type light , but every LED taillight has 4 wires connected.
The extra wires have to be connected on the 42 pin of the 258 5B and the 258 3B module of the BDC BODY.
If you haven't buy the extra wires and the connectos (you obviously haven't) , you can order them now.
The final step is to code your BDC BODY.
