Hello,
Does anyone know if we can retrofit laserlight? and what we need? i have led adaptive (i couldn t put laser light on my car because restriction on factory and it would be a delay of 2-3 month).
Thanks a lot!

Technically yes but each headlight alone (without any additional wiring you may need) is $6k a piece ie $12,000 just for the headlights + any other parts or labor

I wonder if it's a simple plug and play swap out. I know for my MB I looked into upgrading the halogen lights to the HID lights and on top of the actual headlight assembly I needed additional control modules and programming done. All of that made it cost prohibitive to do.

I honestly don't notice a difference.

There is also over 500$ of shipping so more like 4800$ from this ebay seller (who does not accept returns).

You will very likely need coding and possibly other parts to make them work with your car. If at this price point your re still willing to get them, you can perhaps ask the seller if he can pass along your contact info to someone who has previously bought a set to see if that buyer also did a retrofit and if he got them to work, possibly confirm what else was required to make it happen. You could also ask a dealership near you to provide an estimate.

If ever you do go through with the retrofit, please update this post with the required info as others may be interested in doing the same especially if the price for a set ever drops down to something more reasonable.

The idea of a Laser light retrofit makes my wallet hurt. Its best left to leave that idea go.

Almost 6000 euro at my dealer.

My experience has been that a 2-3 month wait is worth it if you're getting what you want.

If someone does successfully retrofit them, I would be interested. However the cost is absurd and probably not worth it.

How much are they from factory?

Get them to confirm what else needs to be done/bought, if anything.
That will help you get a clear picture of the true cost of the retrofit even if you buy the main part from the eBay seller.

$1K option from the factory though you need to have at least ZPP Premium Package or is included with Executive Package.

5AZ Icon Adaptive LED Headlights with Laserlight $1,000
Included in package ZPX ZPX
5AZ requires ordering ZP2 or ZPP

Ok, well I am not in the US so those packages don't apply to me. Although I still figure that is the price.

Seems like a total bargain over the retrofit, so it definitely wont be happening. We still cant order the laser lights from factory in Australia unless we buy the M50d for some unusual reason.

Looks like the wiring is the same, unless I'm missing something.

Laserlight
Adaptive LED

Any updates on retrofitting the laser lights? Could it be done? I have a 2019 X5 with the LED headlights and I wanted to swap them out for the Laser Headlights. I found this website that sells them.

I see no difference from my laser and my led adaptive in my X3

1. Laserlight improves high-beam output
2. Light generated by the laser beam through the phosphorus lens is up to 10 times brighter than the light generated by LED headlights
3. It's only active at speeds above 37mph dependent on ambient lighting and no on coming traffic

The majority of the time you're still driving around with LEDs.

He means he notices that the Laser on his X5 is not much different from the Adaptive LED on his X3.

I found for 2500 euros both lights fully equipped, it can be done, only plug and play, and activate from bord computer but you have to buy the lights from bmw if you don t want to lose the warranty and they charge me 6000E. Doesn t worth this money.

TY! Re-edit for my lack of reading comprehension :doh:

How do I know when the laser light is activated?
