Thanks so much for showing how to adjust the aim for these headlights. Just got a E90 with exact same headlights, the low beam like a high beam at night.
hi! time lapse worked out in the end, so thanks for the vid! :D one thought: light output of xenons does fade out with use, so was thinking, if you have xenons for both high and low beam, how about swapping the bulbs (move the ones from high beam to the low and vice-versa) when the ones on the low beam starting to look faded?
The hi and low beam xenon bulbs aren't seperate, they are the same bulb on the E90 with a flap in front of then that pivots down when you engage the high beams, plus the H1/H7 next to the xenon
Nice, I bought the same ones but I didn't transfer the motor I just used the manual adjusters, I was worried about the light output prior to install but they have been fine and the angels eyes added a nice look and are super bright at night.
Thank you for the great video, i have one question though! I have the same oem headlights as yours but isn't there two motors in them?? Why you only transferred one only?!
Hmm interesting, what year and trim is your car? Mine has one motor, this diagram shows only one (vertical adjustment motor). www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=VB73-USA-07-2007-E90-BMW-335i&diagId=63_0918. Maybe the later versions have two? The new lamp assembly has only space for one. It is working, I can see it do the level test each time I start the car.
I installed these yesterday! Thank you so much for the video... So I have everything installed and made sure everything was working correctly before putting my bumper back on. I leave my lights in auto mode. Started the car at 6am and everything was fine until I moved the shift lever into reverse then boom the CC-ID 295 adaptive headlight control issue but I physically watched the headlights move up and down. Driving to work I noticed that they were extremely high up in the air like lighting the signs on I-95. I made sure the ball to the AFS motor was in the slot. Do you think I just need to adjust the headlights manually down a lot or did I mess up the install of the AFS motor? Trying to avoid taking the bumper back off! LOL
Yeah, I'd start with adjusting the lights since it's easy to try. If that does it, then great. However it maybe a slight problem with how the motor is mounted in its frame. In that case you may need to redo it again :(
@@OGPedXing no luck! I double/triple checked the motors then I removed the little controllers and found 1 of the pins was bent so thought Haha got it! Replaced the module with another one I had from an old headlight no luck. Straightened the pin out and tried the original one no luck. I don't get it I had no adaptive codes with the oem lights just had a broken bracket for the left and right movement so decided to try these. Hopefully spyder responds or I can code out the afs with my laptop because mycarly won't do it. The weird thing is they go up and down when you start the car 😫
@@OGPedXing Okay ignore my last comment!!!!!!! LOL I guess it was the bent pin from the controller. I guess the car just needed to nap overnight and reset the AFS system. Drove to work this morning with no codes. Thanks again for this video it's the only one I could find on adaptive headlights and I'm too damn lazt to make videos! LOL
Code out the Adaptive headlight symbol off the dashboard using BimmerCode I took every step except I don’t see the exact code. I Just need the exact code off the expert code just get kind of nervous when I get into expert code, and just want take that code to take it off
I have a 2002 bmw 530i with the xenon hid adaptive headlights only (self level) I’d love if their was a way I have have afs steering adaptive headlights is This possible and nice video btw
I think that a version of these lights will support it but you have to use the motor from your original lights just like the self leveling. The only thing I can think of is to find a used or broken one but with the motor and module still working and swap it in. Then you'd need to code the feature into the car using INPA or ISTA.
That was a screw up on my part, I lost that footage and all I have is the time lapse. I only realized it was in that mode after the car was all back together. Sorry about that.
I'm not 100% sure but I think so since the 2006 should be the same chassis code (e90). The link to the Amazon listing that I put in the description should have the years that it works for.
Does AFS function work properly? Well. I couldn't see movement of the low beams from left to right and from right to left. And what is that ballast for? You have already used stock AFS modules on new headlights.
My year only has the self level feature (up and down), not the side to side movement. But yes if you get the lights that support that, it will work. The ballast is for the xenon bulb. By reusing the stock modules and ballast, you save hundreds of dollars with this particular light set. If yours are damaged or missing then this light set will not have that functionality but will work fine otherwise and will not throw a code on the dash.
@@OGPedXing Good work. I think that ballast taped on the new headlight is for Adaptive system. But for why? Original afs headlights have already afs modules. Maybe that ballast is for erasing error codes. Is there another place for 2nd motor in this new headlight housing?
@@videt_scit_dicit oh I understand now...yeah that second silver box that comes with the new lights that you have to mount in a manual way is for the codes, you are correct. It's basically another module, not a ballast. The only ballast is the one that came from the original light and it's the thin silver one that has a proper mounting location. There is another module for motor control that came from the original light that is smaller and black in color. My lights didn't have a spot for a second motor for side to side. Not 100% sure but if you get the one for 2009+ model year, you'll get that.
It was going to be a about a $2k repair easy. Any time you actually use the insurance for anything more than a few hundred, they'll definitely raise the premium on you regardless of fault. Oh also the someone was my wife. 😰 So I decided to just diy it.
@@OGPedXing I suggest you change your insurer. If somebody else backs into your car and you claim on their insurance YOUR premium shouldn't go up at all
I agree completely, that was the weakest part of the part. But the price was good and so far so good, no problems. I think the protection of the harness with tape helps some.
Thanks for showing everything, most don't show how to do the adjustments and that is what I couldn't figure out.
I don't know if I would have been successful without this video. God bless you.

Thank you so much, this was such a great video and it really took the stress out of installing my headlights!! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks! I'm wrapping up a series on my other project car but I have a bunch of parts waiting to go on the BMW. So more BMW content coming soon.

Did you have to recode the headlight to make them work
No coding was needed, just plug and play.

@@OGPedXing appreciate your response bud! I am a little OCD about dash lights popping up! Not a good condition for someone driving a BMW 😆

@@Joeshomegarage lol, awesome, glad it's working
Did the back of these headlights push against the fender liner ? Because mine do
Huh, interesting. No I didn't notice them hitting on mine.
@@OGPedXing would you mind taking a quick look ?
Code out the Adaptive headlight symbol off the dashboard using BimmerCode I took every step except I don’t see the exact code. I Just need the exact code off the expert code just get kind of nervous when I get into expert code, and just want take that code to take it off
did you put any bulb on the inside projector for the high beams?
No it came with everything aside from the xenon bulb that was transferred over.

Do they have any replacements for a e65 750li like this
Is there anyway you can Re-Post Video without the Time Lapse ?
That was a screw up on my part, I lost that footage and all I have is the time lapse. I only realized it was in that mode after the car was all back together. Sorry about that.
hows the output? thx
Anyone know where I can find the torx screws used to hold in the ballast and control module?
I'm looking for this exact situation, but for a 2006 325Ci. Does Acanii make a model for mine?
I'm not 100% sure but I think so since the 2006 should be the same chassis code (e90). The link to the Amazon listing that I put in the description should have the years that it works for.

If someone backed into you, then why is your premium going to go up?

@@OGPedXing the wife situation actually explains it better and makes more sense 👌😂

The manufacturer of that headlight set could've done a better way to hide those cables. OEM looks much better.

$1200 is outrageous, BMW is way overpriced
Agreed, absolutely ridiculous
