i did the conversion last year, when i had my prev. E81 118d hatch.
I bought the original headligts from a spanish guy, who knew a guy that worked on Valeo ( the producer of the headlights ). He then build some sort of cable inside the headlights, and shipped them to me.
When i got them, i just took off the front bumper, and swapped the headlights, it almost worked fine. First, the hi-beam would not work. Then i had 2 swap 2 cables in the cars plug ( the plug that goes into the headlamp ) and then the hi-beam worked.
I drove with it for 3 monts, and i never got rid off the OBC error, but the lights worked fine, and the total cost was 700 euros ink shipping.
I am about to buy a E81 118d again, and have contacted the spanish guy, but he cannot supply the headlamps anymore.
