active curve headlight retrofit
Hi guys. I have option 614 bi-xenon lights on my 04 and would really like to retrofit the 615 active curve lights. I am a freak about lights and because I live in a canyon with very curvy roads I'll take every advantage I can get.
I have read some pages back from 2004 when people were picking up their brand new 2004 211s and those delivered with regular bi-xenon were being able to go to dealer and request the active curve lights be installed instead.
I am wondering what was involved in this process.
Is it simply a matter of installing the active curve lights and finding someone to code the car?
Is there a steering angle sensor I have to install?
How about a new/different wiring harness for the additional motors in the newer headlight?
All input is appreciated, Thanks!

MY04 EPC shows the following (headlamp + control unit), angle sensor harness looks to be the same.
