Well, turning lemons into lemonaid. My 2013 35iS was the victim of a parking lot incident - a Honda Pilot backed into my front-end. Long story short, my driver's headlight is smashed.
Given that we're going to have to replace one headlight anyway, wondering about swapping to the LCI headlights. My car is fairly late production and loaded, so I suspect I'd have the FRM3 module. Aside from the headlight units themselves (with LED bulbs) and possibly a wiring harness, do I need to buy anything else? I've read and re-read the thread. it is possible that I'm just illiterate, but I remain a bit confused as to what is actually required in this case. Can I not re-use the Xenon Adaptive units? Also, any pointers for a north american looking to get these purchased at less than full dealer retail?
HELP! Dying to get my beauty back on the road, but don't want to miss an opportunity to have insurance help cover the cosmetic surgery.
Thanks!
