I believe that when DRLs are on, nothing is lit behind the rods on LCI, and I agree with what you mentioned in the other post, that the LCI, has swapped the brake light and Brake force Display position.

Do we have to do the same change??
What bulbs are on in the LCI in normal taillight position? Thats the question, it is LEDs only, LEDs and cicle, LEDs and circle other 2 bulbs.

Changing the brake and the BFD bulb positions is just a matter of repositioning the wires.

However, this is the best shot I could take on my LCI taillights... I think, not bad

Have you repositioned anything or just tried to take a better shot.

Is there a final wiring diagram available yet? Do the LED lights require CIP 25.x for the LED's to work? Which connector fits in the LED lights? Anyone have the correct part number?


Thanks in advance.

No, nothing changed, they are connected according to the diagram.
Just managed to take a stable shot at 400 ASA

xxterxx must aswer on this, or, this is a standard LCI model

Maybe under some circumstances, but how could I tell without to have checked out an LCI in person at first. When I saw that one at the dealer, we didn't have any questions then. I went yesterday to check if there is one at the dealer's showroom, but had no luck.

The aftermarket solution will be done here (Bruce, Nick, me, ...). There are a few options for the install but we don't have the BMW retrofit cable available yet.
