LCI retrofit...???

Cosmos,

I think you're reading our posts but only seeing what you want to see. Reread my message from the thread above:

The message explicitly states that the headlights from the LCI E92 M3 and the LCI E90 M3 are the same, and yet you're comparing the LCI E92 non-M3 to, I think, the LCI E90 M3.

If you're trying to take the headlights from the LCI E92 non-M3 and add them to any M3, then you won't be able to do that, for the reasons that many of us have already mentioned above.

1. The headlights are a different shape
2. You'll need an LCI E92 non-M3 bumper to accomodate the new headlights
3. Who knows if the tabs on the bumper will line up with the M3
4. Who knows if the seams and panels on the non-M3 bumper will line up with the M3's hood and front quarter panels
5. Keeping in mind points #3 and #4, you can likely assume that aftermarket bumpers created for LCI E92 non-M3s won't fit either
6. Who knows what kind of errors the lights will throw, or if they'll work at all

I'm sure it's within the realm of possibility for someone to jury-rig a solution to get the LCI E92 lights onto our M3s, but it won't be easy, pretty, or cheap.

To borrow from Obi-Wan, "this is not the mod that you're looking for."

I hope that answers your question.

Cosmo, It is very simple


To get LCI 335i led headlights, you will need a 335i LCI front bumper.

LCI 335i headllights will not fit the E9x M3 front bumper.


LCI M3 has the same headlights as earlier M3's, they only changed tail lights.

The front bumper/headlights are the original E92 style, on all M3's.

First, THANK YOU all for taking the time out to explain it to me, I really do appreciate it.

All M3, E90 or E92, pre LCI or LCI have E92 pre-LCI headlights.
So again, unless you swap the E92 LCI lighting system into the E92 pre-LCI headlight housing you can not get E92 LCI haedlights. And changing the bulb does not work, as the corona rings are not the same, there is another system.

Did you read what I said before? It seams no. You CAN NOT put E92 LCI haedlights on ANY M3, because you will need a bumper that DOES NOT exist. The only way is to put the lighting system (blinkers, corona rings, xenons) of the E92 LCI headlight into the housing of your E92 pre-LCI headlights. Yet I am not 100% sure if it works.
