BMW M6 F13 F06 Headlights Full Adaptive LED LCI Right Left

(Superseded by/Interchangeable with: 63117394913, 63117394914)

The LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) headlights for the BMW M6 and 6 Series represent the pinnacle of lighting for the F-chassis flagship. Introduced for the 2015+ facelift, these units replaced the circular “Angel Eye” rings with a more modern, flattened LED light-tube design. These are Full Adaptive LED units, integrating high-beam, low-beam, and cornering functions into a single intelligent housing.

Technical Specifications

• Compatibility: * BMW M6 (F13 Coupe, F12 Convertible, F06 Gran Coupe) LCI 2015–2019.

  • BMW 6 Series (640i, 650i) LCI 2015–2018.

  • Retrofittable to Pre-LCI (2012–2014) models with specific wiring modifications and coding.

• Technology: Full LED with Adaptive Headlights (AHL) and High-Beam Assistant.

• Manufacturer: Automotive Lighting (AL).

• DRL Style: Updated LCI “Iconic” LED tubes with a distinct upper “eyebrow” turn signal.

Key Performance Features

• Adaptive Light Distribution: The internal LED projectors swivel based on steering angle and vehicle speed, illuminating the path through a corner before the car enters it.

• Anti-Dazzle High Beam (Selective Beam): In European markets (and codable in others), the system creates a “dark spot” around oncoming vehicles while maintaining high-beam intensity everywhere else.

• Cornering Lights: Dedicated side-facing LED elements activate during low-speed turns or when the turn signal is engaged, providing a wider field of view for pedestrians and obstacles.

• Color Accuracy: Delivers a daylight-balanced $6000\text{K}$ output, which provides superior contrast for road markings and signage compared to older Xenon systems.

Professional Installation & Technical Notes

When dealing with these high-value components, precise hardware and software synchronization is required:

1. Module Inventory: A “Complete” LCI headlight requires several external modules:

   • Main LED Control Module: (e.g., 63117492023 or 63118494839).

   • DRL/Turn Signal Modules: (Left: 63117394901 / Right: 63117394902).

   • Cornering Light Modules: (Left: 63117394903 / Right: 63117394904)

2. Coding and Initialization: New or replacement units must be initialized using BMW ISTA or ESYS. The car’s FRM (Footwell Module) or TMS must be taught the new headlight parameters to prevent flickering or “Headlight Malfunction” errors.

3. Retrofit Wiring: If installing LCI LEDs onto a Pre-LCI car, the pinout on the headlight connector often changes (specifically for power delivery to the DRLs). A dedicated retrofit harness or repinning of the factory plug is mandatory.
