Hi all,
Very nice and informative posting, exactly what I've been looking for (joined just the forum to thank you). I'm currently in Germany and was looking for a way to buy the LCI lights for my MJ 2006 (EZ 12/2005) 530D - you reckon someone else sells them besides BMW? There was something like www.bmw-chromteile.de but they seem to be out of business.
I suppose Bruce_Miranda's cabling would do the trick for my car?
Someone's probably asked these same questions for N times already, so sorry for reposting
Cheers,
Miika

bmw-chromteile.de was simply reselling my own cables. And they have not gone out of business, just have some site issues.

Thanks! I take it you are from San Diego? I spent some time in San Diego and SoCal last year during my first trip to the US - great place!
I see - I guess I'll just have to wait then or maybe order the cabling directly through you? Do you know of places where to look for the lights (I'm only interested in the rear lights)?
Many thanks in advance and greetings from Leipzig,

My Ride: 2008 535i
I have a 2008 535i US spec with the red LED turn indicator. How much would it cost to get the Euro LCI edition? I assume I wouldn't need the wire harness as the car is a LCI. Does anyone want to do a swap? Just seeing if there's some interest.
