the cable you refer to is a cable to retrofit the LCI tail lights to pre-LCI e60's. The LCI tail lights have LED's in them. (member bruce_miranda makes these cables)

here's a DIY to show this tail light retro fit.

As far as LCI, it stands for Life Cycle Impulse.

Here's an article that lists some changes..
