Please find below thread for DIY LCI cable https://5series.net/forums/topic/882...&#entry1041049

It would not come with LCI tail light.

Best regards

Really followed this thread 100 times....tried a set from one of your followers....and also asked my colleague to solder a set....same suituation:-

When i took out all four bulbs, error code....but all lights function as Ricky's effect. I tried and managed to put back each side one bulb at the outer bulb holder, then no error (If I put the bulb in the inner bulb holder, reverse light came up too, so I put back at the outer, if put back both, still got error).....In order to avoid error in i-drive, my case is funny and became a specail effect :-

Without light on - when brake, the outer bulb, led rods and fog on;
With light turn on - without brake, outer bulb on, led rods on;
when brake, outer bulb on, led rods on, fog lights all on!

In all cases above. turn lights and indepentant fog light get no problem. I tried all 20w 20, 22r, 25r power resistors.....lights bulb in place, no error, take out bulb, error.....need to try other watt resistor?

Photo shows - turn light on without brake, outer bulb on, led rods on.....
