It's weird how they code it though - they show 553 ICON lights, but then have 8SF and 5AP - strange.

Yeah maybe that is how they signal to the factory workers out of what bin they pull it from?

Yep mine too. I think that takes away the new angel eyes and the adaptive nature.

I built my F80 with ZEC Executive Package but my build sheet also has "5AP decoding for no-dazzle high beam assistance" and "8S4 Variable Light Decoding"

PLOT TWIST. I am now very intrigued.

8S4 and 5AP are the decoding codes for the 552 Adaptive LED headlights in the USA since introduction. Remove those codes from VO and change some ECU parameters and you will have the full set of Adaptive LED features: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=35

I'm almost certain it's a parts shortage of the standard lights. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Mine went into production on 7/19. Estimated completion date was 8/2. I've called Genius today, and 190 - car is transit to port of exit. So it took like 2 weeks from start to finish to being transported to port. So maybe your car will already be in port by 8/17.

I'm just waiting to find out what ship my car will be on. Im guessing Independence II, since thats the only ship I have found to be en route to Port of Galveston leaving Bremerhaven on August 10.
