Anyone??

 

Not sure if you've seen this already or not:

BMW E60 M5 LCI Head/Tail Light Retrofit DIY - YouTube

He does mention in it at one point that a couple of pins are incorrect according to the BMW instructions and where to place them

 

Yep. I saw that. That was for the taillights. I made sure that was done. I just coded the SMCs and now the headlights are making a ticking noise. Only way it stops is I have to code off the AHLs. Any help??

 

I take it you moved the existing SMC modules from your pre-LCI headlights to your new LCI headlights? If that's the case, did you make sure that the left module went into the left side again on the new headlights, and same with the right side?

As for bulb errors, if you haven't already, you'll need to disable hot and cold bulb checks on the angel eyes if replacing the halogen bulbs with LEDs.

Another possible cause is that if you got second hand lights, the insulation around the wires has a tendency to disintegrate after a while. If this has happened and is causing a short, it will cause the bulb to go out as the LM continually checks for shorts, and if doesn't get the resistance it expects from the stock halogen bulbs, it will shut off power to that bulb after a certain number of checks. You'll need to reset the short counter in order for the light to come back on again.

 

I have traced all my wiring for the headlights and made sure they were pinned according the the BMW guide. (AHL) not (Bi-Xenon) since my 07 had xenon and ahl. I can’t see to get the cornering lights and the AHL working at all. any help here?

 

The keep making a clicking noise as it appears the xenons are trying to adjust.

 

I know this thread is old but I've just performed the LCI retrofit and ran into pretty much the same thing you are describing so I thought I would see if I can help.

I too had errors 9CBF & 9CBE after performing the retrofit. When the headlights try to perform the reference run on startup they would go and bang against the end stops which makes the ticking noise that you describe.

I attempted to reuse my SMC modules from my pre-lci lights which were SMC (1) modules. The LCI lights need SMC II modules which are BMW part number 63127189312. My original SMC modules said "SMC" on the sticker, the new modules say "SMC II". I went for some unbranded new modules which were £30 each rather than £190 that BMW wanted.

You'll have to code the new SMC modules with NCSExpert before AHL will operate.
