facelift bi-xenon to pre-facelift z4 -working

So when I 'flash' by pulling my stalk back (fnaar fnaar) the xenons stay dipped and the inner halogens come on. Then if I thrust my stalk forward the xenon beam trajectory is altered to main beam and the halogens are just there for additional support?

I thought the halogens provided the only main beam but what do I know, I haven't even driven the Zed in the dark yet!

Yes...first statements are correct.

so there are no advantages for switching to facelift headlights ?

I can't see any given the time and effort. Swapping to clear indicator lenses seems a sensible move though and many do that.
 
The reason for the change is to clear headlight from orange indicators, also the chrome internal is better and has angel eyes factory fitted.

I also got the pair for a great price.

Therefore if I code car in SSS retrofit will it work?

Interested to know if you needed to perform surgery on any part of the car. This is not for me if dremeling bumpers is involved as I want to keep #69 as close to stock as possible. Stubby is the one exception and I've even got a hankering to refit the bee sting.
 
first test.

1. when on side lights the orange indicators come on (not flashing)
2. Indicators work fine
3. Low beam works fine
4. High beam works fine on xenons works but angle eyses come on as well
5. flash to pass lights inner angel eye.

Either swamp pins in connector round or try coding car......
