Compatibility with BMW i3 I01 LCI

The presented module has been designed specifically for the BMW i3 I01 LCI (facelift) version, which means it is perfectly matched to the headlight design and wiring harness of this model. The left-side placement eliminates the risk of installation errors and facilitates the selection of the correct part when replacing a damaged module.

Proper fitment for the specific generation and body version translates into:

• correct mounting in the headlight housing,
• no need for installation modifications,
• preservation of the factory daytime running light characteristics.

Performance characteristics and advantages

As a component from the Front lights group, the module is crucial for the vehicle's passive and active safety. Functional LED daytime running lights improve the car's visibility to other road users while reducing the load on the main light sources in the headlight.

The main benefits of using this module include:

• preservation of the original operating characteristics of the BMW i3 daytime running lights,
• visual consistency of the front lighting on the left and right sides,
• the ability to restore full system functionality after a failure or damage to the previous module.

The product comes from dismantling, which allows for an economical repair while using an original BMW component.

Condition of the part and installation aspects

The module is offered as a used part, which in practice means it comes from a previously operated vehicle but retains the functionality necessary for further use. This type of solution is often chosen for post-accident repairs or lighting service when the priority is combining OEM quality with a reasonable cost.

During installation, it is recommended to:

• check the module's compatibility with the vehicle's equipment version,
• perform the installation in a specialized service center or by a person with experience in working with BMW electrical systems,
• verify the correct operation of the daytime running lights after installation (no system errors, uniform illumination).
