I want LCI headlights on my pre-LCI E92...

DavS1 · 11-20-2011, 05:07 PM

Can it be done?

I want white angel eyes that function as a standard headlight would. I.E. Angel eye works as DRL and sidelight...Im sure the white angel eye kits only work as a sidelight?

either way, can I fit LCI headlights to my 09 E92?

Think you'd need at least an LCI bumper to go with them. Worth checking RealOEM to make sure the bonnet isn't different too...

ah

bumpers appear to be different part numbers. damn!

The bumpers are different, but that might not be related to the lights. The washer covers appear different and there might be asthetic differences too!

This is true, I'll need to do some more investigating!, If I could compare 2 headlights side by side it would help.

The E92 LCI headlamp units are taller than the pre-LCI, so definitely need the new bumper.

The cheapest way to modify your car is often to sell it and buy another one....

DavS1 · 11-21-2011, 12:35 PM

Kaishang, in this instance I think that is the only option!
