HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2020
- In this short episode you can see how I repair the AHL mode from a BMW e61 is very simple and if you have the skills and some tools you can do it too. BMWs that have Adaptive Headlights have this module, in the next generation this module no longer exists because it has been integrated into the light module !
This module is also found on 6 series e63 and 7 series e65 e66

MAN! You are a MADD SCIENTIST!!!!! Great information and I applaud you for the technical break down and reassemble. And the treasure trove in that cabinet 😳
I have an E90 2011 328i even though I'm not going to do what you did, I'm more inspired to look more into the AHL Module for my passenger side.
Wow, thanks! and let me know what you did
Dear M.Ovidiu, best regards from Serbia for great video. After seven years driving with green light flashing on light module and without automatic headlight leveling, i purchased diodes A4S on Aliexpress for several dollars, solder it for AHL module like you pointed on video and VOILA - auto leveling is here. And not just that: when cornering adaptive headlight moves left - right. Once again, thank you very much!
Hey, can you please just send a link ?
Probably one of my favorite features on modern cars and something I miss when driving a car without it.
Great video as always! Love seeing the surgical precision that you put into your work - You are exceptionally gifted!
Hey, thanks again ☺ for your support !!
I absolutely enjoyed this tutorial from beginning to end SUBSCRIBED!!!
Yay! Thank you!
When he goes to the cabinet a bit after 5 minutes. I was like nah he's not gonna..no way he has that diode just lying around 😅. Wait seriously? He's gna solder that $#!+ on? And he did. Great work man. Next level diy solutions
This appears to have worked on the first go! Thank you!
Great work and very clear video
Thank you for your appreciation , stay in the area you will see more videos like this !
Well done, thanks for the video.
You’re a legend. Greetings from Portugal
Wow, thanks

Great video! I have been searching for the Problem for 2 months now on my X5 e53. It even will not turn on my left headlight. Headlight can be only turned on by rhe diagnose toll for 15 seconds.
Thank you very much for this video, it works great on my e60 now
Glad it helped
Thanks a lot, worked for me. Ahl is active again!!!
Welcome 👍
Hi, very good video, very clear and useful, i Just bought it brand new, do i need to clear the error code to make it work again? Keep up with the good work !!!
Thank you men, respect.
Incredible!!! Thanks 🙏
Glad you liked it!
buen punto que señalas, desafortunadamente ese integrado no lo consigo en ningun lugar
Super video (y)
I am in the proces of buying new headlights for my E61 LCI
The car is factory fitted with non adaptive xenon but I want the adaptive option when I buy new units.
Are my car fitted with an AHL-module or in any way prepared for that module ?
Mulțumesc frumos!
Very good video mate.
I'm assuming the E60 non-xenon module is in the same location?
Non Xenon lights dont have ahl feature
Salut. Am și eu aceasta problema. Cat ar costa operațiunea executata de tine și locația. Mulțumesc anticipat.
You are the best ❤️ 7:20

hello my friend where is this part in my bmw e90 case car?
foarte de ajutor, merge si cu a4 t daca nu aveti a4s
Super bine de stiut!
Where is it located on right hand drive uk bmw e60 ???
my left headlight stopped working, what could it be?
I need these programs
Hi Ovidiu!
I have an e63 m6 with a light fault! It had water damage in one headlight, I’ve changed both smc modules and the headlights now do the “start up procedure” so both lights move up/down and right/left, so the system works. However, I still get this code “RSMC2 no communication with steppermotorbox right”. If you would spare a little time, any help from you on what might cause this will be highly appreciated! Thanks! 🙏🏼
Its RIght SMC , servo motor controller , seems something is wrong with the wiring that goes to SMC or the servo it self has failed , there is two in one headlamp.
i dont even have that box, in my LCI e61, i have failure still and chckecu under the headlight module its all good, tested with other one... dose the motor in there is bad then ?
You don't have the "box" because on LCI the module is integrated in the LM . I don't know what your problem could be only by guessing, you need to do a proper diagnose to the system.
Big Like, thank you sir
Big thanks
Hi! What if my diode have .475V parameter? Is it not enough? I have E519 code error, there is no dynamic xenon function and self leveling. I cannot connect to adaptive lights module by INPA.
I had the same issue replaced ahl coded for car same issue replaced modules under lights same issue put original back in and factory reset the lcm with protools and all is working now probably could have used ista but that program is sometimes over my head but I do have it along with inpa. Funny thing is I could always move them with software but was getting a start up error that factory reset fixed it
I have a question I have a 2008 550i e60 and all my light stay on when I open door my lamp light stay on does that module could be the problem plz help
Hello , No
Hello. I have lci with dinamic xenon. And on automatic green light is on(not flashing) but lights not move when start engine, and not moving with steering. Maybe someone have an idea.
Hello ! You have to make a diagnosis if you want to fix it!
Nice, ma poti ajuta cu un sfat ? nu imi merge inchiderea centralizata din cheie la un e60 2005 cum as putea verifica daca este antena deasupra de luneta defecta sau altceva ? Merge de pe consola centrala inchisa, in timpul mersului totul merge inafara de cheie, am doua la ambele aceasi problema. la una am schimbat si bateria si degeaba tot nimic.
Salut , trebuie facuta o verificare a modulului de receprie Diversity trebuie verificat daca se alimenteaza si daca comunica
Genius 👍🏻😊 is the e 65 735i it have seem option ?
Hello! If in your headlight heave the same text DYNAMIC XENON yes you heave it
Man you are legend.
I love what you say "if you have the information and the knowledge, the sky is the limit"
Keep up the great work you are doing.

Hi all . I have a big request for you. Please 🙏🙏 write where on the Internet I could find the same diode A4s or similar/analog , Or in what other block can I find this diode ?????? I recently discovered that the problem is in this block. Since the day I bought my e60, the headlights have not worked properly. I will be very grateful to you for your help.
Hello , do a search on Google , or if you have other defective/ for parts module you can search there, or you can create one using 2 diodes
I found a t04 on an old motherboard and it appears to be working fine
Hello my friend i have some error code on my bmw e92 2012, cc-id 295
When i start the car the headlight go upp and down but they dont move to right and left When I turn the steering wheel to left and right. I have wather insid the left headlight.
?
if you have an error it's a problem in the headlight or in the control unit or by nature, you have to find someone who knows how to fix something like that and they will do it for you ... so with the opinions on the internet you won't be able to fix it
can I buy that double diod somewhere ? Good quality one
Good quality from another module!
salut. am o problema cu un e61 si anume la inchidere ceva modul intra in sleep foarte greu si imi consuma o arte din baterie suficient incat la pornire sa primesc mesaj de ' increased battery discharge'. ma gandeam sa vin pana la constanta daca ar fi loc la tine pentru o diagnosticare
Salut , din pacate eu nu te pot ajuta , dar un electrician specializat BMW din zona ta sigur o va rezolva !
Buna Ovidiu. Vreau sa fac conversia la lămpile pe spate de la Pre LCI la LCI. Am cumpărat un modul de lumini la mâna a doua. Ce ar trebui sa modific in modulul LM2 ca sa funcționeze corect lămpile pe spate. Mulțumesc!
Salut, trebuie facut retrofitul fizic si modificat cablaj , dupa care facut retrofitul pe software si va fi ca de fabrica
Am cablajele și modulul dar nu sunt sigur ce trebuie sa modific pe noul modul de lumini ca sa funcționeze corect.
Did you know about fuel pump controle module over heating problem??
If the EKPS it is working hot is possible that the in tank fuel pump is bad and it takes more amperage, you can see it with istaD
@@MOvidiu ok i will check and thank you..what is the correct amperage..BMW E60 2006 N52 engine...pls help me...if i travelling daytime about 100km, my car engine suddenly stop feel like no patrol in tank & i will try to start again.engine crank but not start...after 15,20 minute i can start again.....
I think you can use 2 times 1n4001 i want try tomorrow to my module.
Shure you can!
@@MOvidiui have fixed it i found a4s on a water damaged airbag module. thanks that was easy with yout video.
Salut…am aceeasi masina si cu aceleasi faruri..faza scurta nu e puternica,adica becurile de pe strada mi le acopera pe ale mele..am xenoane de 35w si modulele alea tot de 55w…ajutama te rog din suflet ce as putea sa fac sa am eu becuri mai puternice si de care…A xenoanele sunt D1S😢😢😢❤❤❤
Salut , daca ai becuri noi si tot sunt slabe farurile, va trebui sa inlocuiesti farurile sau doar lupele! degeaba schimbi becurile cu unele mai puternice deoare-ce nu te vor ajuta deloc din contra ii vei deranja pe toti ceilalti participanti la trafic!
Salut la un seria 1 2009 am eroarea aia cu reglaj pe bord și pâlpâie beculetul de la blocul de lumini cu aprindere automata , modulul la acest model unde se găsește ? S-ar putea sa fie și din alta parte problema ? Ms frumos
Salut , la masina ta ai alta problema , tu nu ai acel modul , apeleaza la cineva specialist sa iti faca o diagnosticare !
@@MOvidiu ok ms
Can i use A4T instead of A4S? Looks like its little bit diffrent 1.2ohm
Yes
@@MOvidiuthank you! This fixed my adaptive headlights. Before there was no movement at all- even no self test(up&down) when i start the car. Now ISTA recognizes AHL ECU again and everything is working like a charm. Respect man👊
Glad to hear that! If you want to suport this channel especially if it was helpful for you share this video and share this channel!
Salut.Esti în țară sau străinătate.Am și eu 2 de reparat
I have replaced AHL module in my car.now cornering light not work.what is the problem.do i need to do any calibration??
if you are sure that the replaced module is a functional one, it should work, but maybe you have another problem. a diagnosis will have to be made.
@@MOvidiu ok thnx genius
Do you replace on right side? Try to change left to right and right to left for test. The adaptive light shall be ok
ciao,io nella mia e61 del 2006 ho i fari immobili non si muovono ne su ne giu ne a destra ne a sinistra ed ho il led lampeggiante nella manopola di accensione...ho cambiato la centralina piccola quadrata sotto il faro....cosa posso fare? grazie

Hello boss. When I steer right the headlights go right but, when i steer left it comes to the mid and then does not move more left. What may cause the problem? Please help me
Hello, if you have watched the video you have find the answers
@@MOvidiu yes i watched but no answer to my problem :(
No you didn't watched all the video , becouse if you have watched it completely you have found your answer
@@MOvidiu are you sure you understood what my problem is?
Hi bro, he said very clearly in the clip.
In case you set light to Auto:
The Adaptive lights do not turn left when the bmw stopped. They assume you are pulling out into traffic and do not want to blind oncoming drivers (say when you are at a turn lane waiting to turn left)
It's intentional:
- The headlight move up and down only at startup to auto level.
- It will turn/work both left and right only when you are in motion/on moving only (over 20-40km/h you can see more clearly)
In case you set light to Maunal: The Adaptive lights will be deactived. The adaptive lights do not turn anyside even when bmw in stop or in motion.
hello do you do the repairs ? I live in france

Hello! In the same place like in e60 behind the glovebox
That is amazing but NOT an easy repair 😂😂 I have adaptive headlights fault but the dealership told me it was the AHL motors and not the module. They said I had to replace both headlights. They quoted me something like $5000 to replace both headlights. Do you think they’re right or just trying to rip me off?
Hi, unfortunately you are doing very wrong. how to ask on youtube if the repair estimate made by a dealer or someone is correct or not? how to know youtub or internet what problem your car has for starters. here you can see how it is repaired to understand how complex that car is built.
So if you think that the diagnosis and estimation are made wrong, you can only find out by taking another specialist with your car to see if what the first dealer specified is really correct.
@@MOvidiu yes you’re right. Now the dealer is telling me that my LM is damaged too, because my brake lights are lighting up whenever I turn off the car. My car is an lci and the AHL module is integrated with the LM. Can broken AHL motor somehow damage the LM? Do I need to get the AHL issue fixed before getting a new LM?
Do you have an e60? I have a headlight out and AHL error too and I'm thinking about getting rid of it if I need to pay 5k.
@@ashtreylil1 yes I do. You should check the headlights first. In my case, the outer layer of the wires inside the headlights are destroyed, which is common in e60. That caused shorts, and thus shorting my LCM too. Some people have reported water ingress in their AHL module at the bottom of the headlight. I havent checked mine yet. And new headlights in Europe or USA are definitely not $5000. I live in Indonesia and the customs are crazy high. Also, they come with xenon and AHL modules and new bulbs. If yours are not damaged you can reuse the modules and bulbs and the total wont be $5000. Depending on the cause, you may not need to replace the whole headlights.
@@jegerm6752 I took out my driver's headlight (the one that high beam is off in) wires insulation is cracked and rotting. Do you know if I can buy the headlights and module and replace them myself without coding? It wasn't difficult to remove and replace. I don't want to pay labor to a mechanic that will be 5x the price of parts.
