I have a 2005 pre LCI E87 118D Sport with standard halogen lights front and rear. I would like to change these to newer style one with LEDs ideally and have that xenon white look at front with angel eye DRLs.
What are my options? And is it a simple switching of the lights or do new ones need rewiring and/or recoding at all?
If you want the LED bars then no, you need wiring and coding. If you just want to swap to LCI lights then again no, some slight wiring is needed. There are a few guides on here.

Yeah, seen this and prepped for some wiring. I picked up a couple of rear LCI lights and hoping they will be fine once wired and coded.
They look like they only have 3 stripes, which I believe is the low version. Is this correct? And do they still need the same wiring and coding as I have halogens fronts (that I will soon be changing, probably to Depo v2)?

But yeah, this guide should allow me to switch them. Is there any way to get the LEDs to work for a pre-facelift using the guide I have seen around here that suggests to wire the extra spade pin for the harness to the number plate lights and code the number plate lights to be always on as DRLs?
