On realoem.com the part numbers for the electrical components are the same on the North American and European models. However, the headlight assembly is different (which I think makes sense as the projector lens itself should be different for driving on the other side of the road) but I also see that there is option 552 whereas North Americans have option 5A4. I wonder if I add 552 to my VO if that will do anything. Today I noticed my cruise control can't be activated and I have a suspicion it's because one of the coding options I did, so might VO code the KAFAS2 module again.
I haven't dug too far into part numbers but there should be a LHD and RHD headlight for our car. I would assume the USDM headlights are a lower output from what I've been seeing looking at getting this system working on other US BMWs
 
No luck. I added 552 and received errors about the headlights. Then tried removing 5A4 and left 552 in but then received errors about the individual left and right headlights. So I reverted back. Didn't try driving with the lights. While in the garage nothing was noticeable though, they still moved up and down a little bit when turning the high beams on and the bulbs all appeared normal. BimmerUtility wanted to recode the BDC and both FLE's each time I changed the VO, it never mentioned that it thought the KAFAS2 should be recoded.
