^^^ I wouldn't bet on any non-xenon car working with any type of xenon at the moment Asker, it does seam a lot of the BCM's just aren't wired for the xenon shutter control.

I have found the correct part number for the latest BCM that will support both rear LED's and the Front DRL LED Xenon's is 1K0 937 087 E Z0K and costs £249.52 inc VAT  :shocked:

SteveP, would this BCM make my non-xenon '09 GT compatible for Front DRL LED's and fix that bulb out warning that I still have for the rear LEDs? or am I in a no-win situation?  :huh:

I have not really been following this thread of late  :embarassed: but im guessing the new BCM would also allow the use of 'main beam assist' thats suddenly cropped up on the price list.

Yep it would, but that's not a cheap retro fit (unsurprisingly I have been looking into it)  :grin:

Could some kind soul (Snoopy?) with non led xenons please post a few pictures of their headlamps as follows please:

1. Side lights only
2. DRL's on
3. Indicator on

Many thanks, thinking on a video would be even better  :wink:
