Xenon adaptive upgrade
I 'm sorry if the question has already been done but... I find a used headlamp set.
Is it possible upgrade my MY2008 SE from std Xenon to a Bi-Xenon with adaptive lamps?
thanks in advance

Yes, but Adaptive part won't work unless you get the module & wiring & enable it.
ISTR that there is no difference between Xenon headlight and Bi-Xenon (they are the same for the D3) Only difference is adaptive or non adaptive.Bodsys Brake Bible

Thanks bodsy!
Maybe enable is not a problem but do you know which module and wiring is necessary?
someone has made the upgrade?

Yes you can do it
You'll need a set of LHD adaptive bi-xenons, the adaptive lighting AFS ECU (plus the bracket and screw).
You'll also need to make a new wiring loom - you can't just buy a separate loom as it is part of the main engine loom and you don't want to try and change this.
I'm in the middle of doing this and am using a cut-down HVAC (climate control) plug fitted into my home-made loom to connect to the AFS ECU.
You'll probably find that the static bending lamp (corner lamp) wiring is already in place, but you'll need to add the motor wire pairs from the AFS ECU to each headlamp and then connect into the power and CANBus wiring behind the CJB (fusebox).
Once it's all fitted, you'll then need to tell the D3 that it has AFS fitted using a Faultmate MSV-2 (or similar?)
So yes - it can be done and isn't too difficult, but it will be a pain to get hold of the connectors etc...
Colin from BBS has been a great help to me - I'm sure he'll be along shortly to give you some more advice
Good luck,
