Description
The BMW E28 is a sedan of the 5 series from BMW. It is the second generation of the BMW 5 Series and replaced its predecessor E12 in autumn 1981. The successor to the E28 is the E34, which was produced from autumn 1987. BMW built the E28 between April 1981 and December 1987 at the BMW Dingolfing plant and from 1985 to 1989 at the Rosslyn plant. A total of 14 different models of the E28 were offered, some models were reserved for certain markets. In total, 722,328 copies of the E28 rolled off the assembly line, with the most built 520i, 528e, 528i and 524td making up around two thirds of the production.
In terms of design, the E28 is considered a further development of its predecessor, from which some characteristic design features have been adopted.
Production of the E28 ended in December 1987. In January 1988 it was replaced by the E34 series

New conversion kit C.HEL.24N.RSMLSTD
Ready-made electrical LWR conversion kit as a replacement for the hydraulic headlight range control, consisting of:
- 2 new servomotors
- 1 new round LWR switch for the interior
- very detailed illustrated installation instructions
- Various installation materials
- 1 cable set (new and suitably assembled)

Conversion to electric automatic LWR – headlight range control for various vehicles
This conversion kit is among other things required for imported vehicles or for retrofitting LED or xenon headlights. Until around the end of 2018, Hella provided a universal aLWR retrofit kit (8XX 010 315-001), which unfortunately is no longer manufactured and sold by Hella. As the demand for an automatic headlight range control still is very large I decided to develop an ALWR myself. This ALWR (automatic headlight range control) is specially designed for vehicles with xenon or LED headlights, in which the light source of a headlight has a target luminous flux of 2000 Lumens exceeds. According to the legislator, these vehicles no longer allow the headlight range to be regulated manually from the interior.
This ALWR retrofit is mostly used for vehicles imported from abroad that do not have the appropriate automatic headlight range control were delivered and are therefore not eligible for approval in Germany without adjustment. Corresponding servomotors must of course be able to be mounted on the headlamp.
Calibration:
The calibration is kept extremely simple.
The headlights are adjusted using the “Up” / “Down” buttons and then the correct setting is saved by pressing “Save”.
Important NOTE:
The retrofitting of the vehicle is subject to registration (TÜV / DEKRA or similar)
Scope of delivery:
- Somewhere on the back of the headlamp there should be a knob that can be used to manually adjust the headlamp beam by turning it. If you remove this knob, an LWR servomotor should be used in the same place instead so that the control can then be carried out electrically. After removing the manual adjustment, the “installation hole” should look like the last picture with the 3 recesses arranged in a circle.
- It should also be noted that the function of the ultrasonic sensor is only guaranteed in the range from 22 cm to 100 cm, so the vehicle should be within this range with its ground clearance.
- 1 electronic control (interface)
- 1 ultrasonic sensor
- 2 Hella servomotors
- Illustrated detailed installation instructions
- Ready-made cable set with assembled
- confusion-proof plugs
From that:
- 5m supply line to the ultrasonic sensor
- 2.5 m supply cable for driver side driver
- 2.1 m power cable from driver’s side to passenger’s side
- 0.2 m power connection (ground and 12 volts)
