Can you replace a xenon headlight enclosure without coding?

Adam135 · 03-01-2013, 01:08 AM

If I swap out one of my Xenon headlight assembly's for a new one, is it straight plug and play? No coding?

I would think it does not need coding. Why not ask your dealer ? One of the techs not an SA.

That must be the halogens not Xenon with adaptive lighting.

If you google the part number, everything says xenon, D1S.

Oh, that's for just the D1S bulb by itself. I was referring to the entire headlight assembly which is $1100 from the dealer. Or much cheaper on eBay.
