US to Euro Bi Xenon

[140M]

Hi
I have a US f80 m3 and I have changed head lamps from us adaptive bi xenon to euro adaptive bi xenon. Everything works fine except from high beams. I assume it’s a coding issue, but I don’t know if I only need to code FEM or if I have to change any settings in light modules.
Anyone that have done the same and can give me some tips

To be clear, if your USA car came with Xenons (522) Adaptive Headlights (524) and High Beam Assistant (5AC),you will need to purchase and install new hardware (headlight assembly from Europe) AND remove 5AP and/or 8S4 from your VO and recode the car.

If you do not have 524 and 5AC, it will not work unless both those are retrofitted.

As for coding:

I have 524 and I have changed hardware to eurospec. However I have moved all modules over from my old lights as they are the same. I don’t have 5ac but I assume it should be possible to get high beems to work without the AHB. Hopefully it will work when I remove vo 8s4

Nope. You need HBA.
