I actually picked up a 335i, so for now my family is just using the 328i for errands and stuff, might take them off and sell them.

Welp, looks like I'll probably be sticking with my stock halogens. Don't feel like rolling the dice with $800

Yeah.. I'd probably wait for someone like DEPO to release it, it'll probably be the same unit but with better QC.

I ended up going with the Aliexpress lights, installed in May this year on my '14 F31. They have been holding up well, no issues to report other than changing a value in coding to prevent flicker. The turn signals sync with side mirrors. All in all a huge upgrade over the stock halogens.

Next project is to address the horrific scratches on the bumper...

Up DEPO f30 LCI lights and find them there

Sorry I don't check the forum often - shipping took about a month. BMW LED logo is on the headlight and they were for stock halogen headlight assemblies.

Guys, did anyone install those LCI LEDs from Aliexpress on their original Adaptive Xenon?
Is there any difference between simple xenon and Adaptive?
I'm just confused and the seller can't tell me exactly if his LCI headlights for Xenon will fit plug-and-play instead of my Adaptive Xenon.

If anyone has those LCI LEDs in the place of the original Adaptive Xenon could you do me a favor and make a picture of the pins in the headlight connector, please?

How do you have the "BMW LED" on Aliexpress lights?

i think as long as you buy these directly from China, they don't care about putting BMW LED on the headlight shroud. but if any company wants to resell these in the US, BMW could easily send them a cease and desist. So I'm sure there is a version of this headlight that doesn't say BMW on them, specifically made so american resellers can buy those.
