Additional picture of my custom rear upper wishbone. It has adjustments in "all" dimensions.



Also one more comment - if someone wants to use Alcon brakes set on 5.0 car - there is this black bracket visible (behind the disc) - which is an adapter for rear calipers (+ a park brake), as OEM brackets don't fit the 5.0 wheel hubs (rear).

Very nicely done, @tmich ! I’m a fan of most of it ;-)
( I know I’m on the minority about that oversized screen )

Cheers

So, it was quite a journey. I'm ultra happy to announce that I have finally completed the front lift (2012+) AFS headlights swap. They work as they should (okay, leaper jags in the corner of a lamp don't have a backlight, need to talk to Mo about it - who's that - answer below).

Long story short - it is possible to do this swap. Most likely it is the very first car (X150) in the world with AFS swapped and working, as found none with this mod.

What is needed:
- two working AFS headlamps (not obvious when buying second hand)
- updated headlamps control module (C2P24328) - new one, without VIN stored
- changes in a harness (repin + new LIN line from module to lamps + new socket at HCM)
- SDD coding so that a car accepts new HCM module - here a sort of the recommendation - found a guy in the UK - Mo from LR-retrofits.co.uk who did it remotely via my clone set of SDD and cable.

And here it is. My 1 of 1 XKRst working as OEM 12+.

Looks like Priv has also completed the 12+ front end upgrade, he's got the 4.2

There are a lot of cars with the swap, but I'm talking about AFS only. Don't know anyone else.

Nothing changes vs pictures at the beginning of the thread. The only difference could be seen on a movie - AFS working
