US to EU Multibeam Headlight swap




I found a really good deal of both EU headlights at a junk yard in Amsterdam were I plan on buying the units.
I know I’ll need to do some coding as the LED code will need to be swapped and I’ll probably need the headlights calibrated. But my question is will these work at all? I have ILS+ enabled for intelligent Multibeam already in my current modules.
The connectors look the same for the modules as well as the actual headlight connector.
I have yet to get 100% confirmation on any of this as I have yet to find someone who has done this swap themselves. I dont plan to purchase any hardware until I know for sure what is required.
Once we figure out whether the modules are compatible or not, I plan to have some coding specialists help with the coding. I also already have ILS+ enabled on my US spec lights but I am told you have to code other vehicle ECU's to support the European coding for the headlights. It's a deeper dive than the traditional ILS+ coding.
Lets see if we can get additional input on this here, and I will continue to update here if I find out more on my end.

And do the new lights have the blue led strips? When you unlock the car at night they should first glow blue then fade to white.
It’s possible that code doesn’t go away and the blue strips don’t work until many aspects of the car are coded correctly.

I think I only need to program the ECU to tell it to turn off the amber side lights. I think it's just a matter of telling the car to use EU/ROW program instead of US. I'm not too familiar with how any of that works, but I'll have Elebest do the coding when I get some free time, and when he's free to do so.
Have you already confirmed your ILS functions work as well with the new housings?
As soon as you are 100% on doing and functional please let us know here! I’ll likely have elebest help me as well with the coding.
