It appears to me they don t use your old head lights for full matrix upgrade.
You supply them with matrix head lights normal or full laser and they mess with the module on the lights and connector ,so that the new lights will fully function on the old HID car pre 2018.
Then with their upgrades the new lights are plug and play on your old model car with full functionality of adaptive LED lighting.
Hope that makes sense.
So in short no messing with your old cars wiring! Just plug and play.
Up for $1500 for them to work on your new supplied lights and cost of you buying new model lights say around $3500/$4000.
Then new bumper, new hood, painting and fitting.
So great no touching you cars wiring, but still a big job.

i dont know about that....if your view their website and instagram, FB etc they are doing extensive retrofitting as well. Their work looks pretty quality. For example they are retrofitting LED modules into Evoque lamps 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

@Jettec that was not my understanding, I may be wrong but I contacted them re my 2015 model and it was my model we discussed. In the email they clearly say we need your headlamps to retrofit full led. They also mention painting options. Also the 20182₩19 headl lamps dont fit my model. 2015 4.4 AB

Hi Dolf34 no if you read their information they supply the RDMatrix computer unit and program it to your new 2018 Matrix headlights.Then you have all the functions on the new Matrix lights working on you old car.
But you have to give them the new lights so they can mess with them to make them plug and play.
Then they will just fit on your 2015 car! But you will still need to replace bumper and hood plus painting.
You can not upgrade old lights to Matrix , you would have to replace the housing and the lens to take Matrix Led unit fit , so that would be a whole new light anyway.
Cam Tec Craig on this site has modified his car to the latest lights and states new hood and front bumper required.
He has pictures of his mods.
I hope that makes sense.

This is all a bit confusing - I assume that UNLESS I want to replace my 2013 headlights with later ones to get laser brightness together with all the faff of getting a new bonnet fitted, then this is a possible option - or am I missing something?

BTW I don't drive a "truck" and neither is that thing that covers the engine a "hood" Very Happy Very Happy Geoff

Ah, if you look at the pic of the manual on their website it’s a retrofit adapter. Oh well lads, need to find something else to spunk cash on ..

Hi All , got an answer re new headlight or not this morning from Italy and it seems they do the work on your original headlights please see below

My email to them,

Hi , can you clarify if i need to supply new headlights for the LED conversion or if I send you my 2015 headlights and you work on those ?

Thier response

That conversion requires to work on headlights; we need to open them.
We will remove the existing HID system (bulbs, projectors, ballast and wirings) and install our LED or Laser System.
You can personalise the styling (for example, you can choose the housing color in case of painting).



I hope this clarifies the situation but at the same time I'm not affiliated to this company and I opted for the LEDS bulbs for now Thumbs Up I may got the full LED route after another member reports back with their findings. Thumbs Up 2015 4.4 AB

Well that does sound interesting!
Why do they not have this option listed on their web site ?
If I could see the info I might go down this path.
Thanks for the follow up.
Stay healthy!
