BMW F48 X1 OEM LED Headlights
Hey y’all. My lil family sav F48 X1 comes with halogen headlights. To be honest, I can’t stand them. But anyways, I came across a pair of used BMW F48 X1 OEM LED headlights with ballast for sale.
For all the X1 owners who had done the halogen to OEM route LED headlight conversion, my question is that are the wire connections plug and play? Also do I need some type of coding as well? Thank you |

I haven't had to do this myself, but I believe you will need to change options in Bimmercode to force the ECU to recognise the bulbs as being LEDS rather than Halogen. You can also turn off the Active Monitoring for each bulb within the same menu. You will get dashboard error codes otherwise.
The headlight units themselves should be a relatively easy swap as they will use the same fittings. I saw a video a few days ago on Youtube which covered the 'Top 10 things changed in Bimmercode', I can't find the correct one now but one of them covered the bulb code changing process. You don't need to go into Expert mode, they are in the standard options. |

If this set comprises the full LED reflector units, bulbs and lenses, undamaged, that would obviate any concerns regarding illegal 'dazzling' scatter, assuming you can manage the recoding

I haven’t dub deeper into the into the case for the X2, but the retrofit has been done on other F chassis BMWs.
