BMW E60 M5 LCI Head/Tail Light Retrofit DIY

This DIY details exactly how to retrofit LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) exterior lighting to BMW E60 5-series built before March, 2007. The LCI facelifted the headlights and tail lights, vastly updating it's exterior appearance both during the day and at night.

REQUIRED PARTS: *Options such as Xenon, Bi-Xenon, and Adaptive Headlights can change part numbers. Refer to RealOEM.com to determine exactly which parts you need. For this 9/2005 production 2006 model year E60 M5 with option 522 XENON LIGHT and 524 ADAPTIVE LIGHT we used the following part numbers:

(Qty 1) 63127045695 Left LCI headlight, bi-xenon, adaptive: https://bit.ly/3n8ZnoV
(Qty 1) 63127045696 Right LCI headlight, bi-xenon, adaptive: https://bit.ly/3HFMvjk
(Qty 1) 63217361593 Left LCI tail light: https://bit.ly/3zTkRgU
(Qty 1) 63217361594 Right LCI tail light: https://bit.ly/3NbxAPh
(Qty 1) 61359203082 Light Module: https://bit.ly/3N8aV6b
(Qty 1) 61120432110 Retrofit wiring kit: https://bit.ly/3xLoZwS

*LIGHT MODULE

Vehicles produced BEFORE 6/2006 require a new Light Module. Vehicles produced in or after 6/2006 will only require moving 2 pins and then coding.

*REAR LIGHTS

We found that pins 4 and 6 need to be switched on both rear tail lights. Switch pins 4 and 6 on the factory wiring harness, not the tail light adapter cables included retrofit wiring kit 61120432110. This was only required after coding for proper function of the tail lights. Depending on how you do your coding, you may or may not need to adjust the pinning.

*CODING

Our shop found success with their Autologic software for coding/programming the Light Module. I have since done this job in our San Diego based service shop, and successfully completed the coding using NCS Expert.
