· Light module (named 'Footwell module') for Xenon headlights. You may install the last version (FRM3 XE for standard Xenon or FRM3 MAX BROSE for adaptative Xenon), however you can use the previous one (FRM2 XE) on your 2010 1-Series without problem. If you buy an used module, It will work correctly only if it comes from another 1-Series with the same chassis as yours (E81/E82/E87/E88).
With these changes, you'll be ready to coding.
After the coding done right, everything will work correctly, but the dashboard will show an error caused by the tail lights.
You will need to make some mods on the tail light wiring and replace the stock tail lights with LED (or Blackline LED) tail lights to get rid of that error. So LED tail lights sould be included on the previous list.
And that's it, you'll have a nice xenons working properly!
Greetings, and sorry for my bad english! haha

Awesome information. Could never find a complete easy list to follow.
Can you comment on the UK BMW oem retrofit kit? Ever hear of it?
