Re: Facelifting 6R
Remember that these are not led.
The LEDs headlamps arrived in October (I read somewhere).
As always, it will not be possible to install in all the 6R. I suspect that it will be possible for 6R with start/stop and also 6R with xenon..., but I would not change my xenon headlights for LED.

Re: Facelifting 6R
A guy here in Denmark has faceliftet his halogen headlights to 6C halogens. It's a straight swap.

But what I mean is that these halogen headlights:

Not are the same as these LEDs: (which will not be a straight swap)

Ciclo, what would be required to make them a straight swap from the 6C Halogen?

Re: Facelifting 6R
6C halogen headlights (first image above message) is straight swap for all who have 6R halogen headlights, whether H4 or H7. Manual range adjusment lights.
Speculation:
6C LED headlights (second image above message) will not be possible because the daytime running lights and corner lights will be controlled by the BCM. In addition, will probably have a control module similar to 6R xenon headlights. Automatic range adjustment lights.

Re: Facelifting 6R
That you need a long time, diagrams, electrical knowledge and money to change large part of the original wiring for the lights.

Why have they got to make these things difficult..
Why cant they see that people like to personalise their cars, but instead charge 20% of the cars price for some lights, and make it near impossible to fit..
Winds me up

Re: Facelifting 6R
For the moment all I know is that the BCM now has 3 connectors.
- 2 73 contacts
- 1 46 contacts
No pictures of the wiring in the ETKA online. I do not know if the radio is a straight swap
The radio navigation system is a box that is located in the glovebox.
I do not have the schemes. Is the key.
For the moment nothing more on my part.

Re: Facelifting 6R
the mirror link would depend on the stereo i'm guessing
