undertaking xenon retrofit

Hey everyone!

An prelci e82 just popped up at my local junkyard, that has the pfl xenons.

I'm planning on looking at it tomorrow, and wanted to get a consensus on what is needed for the retrofit. My car is a 7/13 build, and i'm not sure which frm3 module i have but based on real oem I either have 61359390483 or 61356827065.

So in order to make this happen i will be grabbing:
-xenon headlights
-wiring harness for both sides
-leveling attachments?
-frm3 module (just in case)

outside of that, what else is needed?

lastly, i do not have a good version of ncsexpert, and would need to acquire that along with the proper sp daten. anyone able to assist me in sourcing that?

Did you ever get this figured out? I want to do a retrofit with my G5-EX 3.0" Bi-Xenon projectors. My 135i has H7 low & high beam; halogen projector for lows and reflector for highs. I want to swap in the G5-EX's on the outsides and Mini H1 6.0's in the inside.

I’ve put it on pause for the time being cause other projects are taking priority. Sorry, been wanting to but just haven’t gotten around to it

Well I'm in the middle of mine. Just put a $700 order in at The Retrofit Source on top of the G5-EX, Diode Dynamics RGB Demon Eye kit, leftover butyl rubber, Morimoto BT RGBW Controller, 2 XB55 2.0 Ballast, Morimoto MiniH1 6.0's, etc..

I'm ready to get this thing done. Ove had my headlights opened up for a couple weeks now and I need to get my car back operating again. I ordered a D2S Elite HID Kit (XB55 D2S Ballast, Osram Night Breaker 6200k D2S bulbs and an H7 HID relay) for my Mini H1 6.0's (my 7.0's went with my sportbike I sold in May unfortunately) along with another Profile Demon Eye kit, H7 PWM Canbus HID relay kit, 8000k 35w H1 bulbs (hope it matches up well with the 6200k Osram's with a 1000k drop using 50w ballast),18" Profile Sequential Switchback DRL strips and a Profile 80mm RGBW halo kit.

I assume I'll have some coding to do? Anyone know what I'll have to do coming from dual halogen H7? (reflector high beam and halogen projector low beam)

☆EDIT: Just realized this is in the DIY section.
