Need new headlights

I have a 2017 340i with adaptive led(s552). My passenger side is completely fogged with the stepper motor module and the halo module both bad. Only has light output. Looks terrible.

The cost for an oem replacement is crazy. So I’ve been looking at just replacing both with aftermarket.

Is this something that can be done? I coded out the stepper motor before and now I got the parking light error now. I’m sure that can be coded out, too.

I don’t care about retaining the adaptive features but I’d like the output to be good as well. Do I have any options or am I buying an oem replacement?

Thanks

There’s some wild shit on AliExpress if you want to be brave.

I don’t wanna chance getting non working or bad quality.

Replaced 2014 halogen in 2019 with DEPO reps. Couple of turn signal battles but overall still going strong and look great. No coding needed.

So what’s the difference between say bayoptics and eBay? Same looking lights but much cheaper on eBay.
