But I am kind of scared to try to mess with the lights and how do you take them out?
you have to remove both front wheels, remove the fender liners, the front bumper is optional but it helps, remove the bottom bracket where the headlight sits( it has 2 bolts in the hood area and 10 mm nut on the bottom. the headlights come out towards the back of the vehicle.

Hi delviacv2,

sorry to jumped in the conversation. Am driving E70 X5 2010. just got my headlight retrofitted to LCI-AHL. However, had some problems encountered:
1. Turning on lights, corona rings will flicker.
2. Whenever I step on the gas, corona rings will flicker too. This only happen when the car is moving though.
3. AHL only working when its switched to auto mode. Its normal?
4. My car is RHD but bought the headlight for LHD. Any way to change the angle? cus right now driver side is higher than the passenger side.

Everything works great when the car stay still. Many many thanks in advance!

Albert

Yes is FRM 3 but not any FRM 3 in fact the one that I removed from my x5 was FRM 3 but the one your need is the one post 4/2011.
Also they need to change the vehicle order to a production date 4/2011 or newer.

Yes, but no different from any non LCI. They are exactly the same as your old stock ones.
