Guys,

I would like to upgrade my tail lights to the LCI's, I found this on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-5...item2a0737b705

Are these genuine OEM type lci tail lights?

Would these retrofit cables make them work without errors or strobing on my 04' 530i?

Please help!

 

thats dont look right for being claimed as oem hella LCI lights

why are there little lights inbetween the led bars? as far as i know there shouldnt be any

 

these are what oem LCI tails look like


those look like reps but almost there

 

WOW, thanks a lot, for that price I can buy them oem here in the forum, thanks for the info, I really appreciate it!

 

you can actually get them cheaper but youll need the bruce cables otherwise youll have strobing and idrive errors

the whole mod said and done is aorund $1000 to look right

 

I bought my LCI tail upgrades from that same seller. He's awesome to deal with.
At the time, he was selling them with the Bruce Miranda controller. I don't know about those controllers.

Praise is right though, those look sort of different. Maybe it's a different version by Hella? Maybe Hella made their own version that works on a BMW pre-LCI but not necessarily a BMW OEM version? Those look like a combination of the pre-LCI and LCI model. Ask the seller questions, he answered alot of mine right away when I dealt with him.

Other than that, that seems like a good deal.

Praise you are correct. That seller sell Euro tail light; with Bruce V6 cable and with their own Retrofit Kit also.

His own retrofit kit which like Bruce V1 or V2 cable. Should only with 3 resistors inside to fool the computer. That's why no error code but with brake / tail light half on and the turn signal may flashing every 5 min.

 

ahhhh so the difference is he is using the older cables

man i want to do this mod but 1k on just tail lights is so much lol i can get my mtech kit painted for that price

 

It looks so damn good though. The more I see LCI tails the more I want them!

 

Same.. and I have V6 cables just need to get $520.00 for the damn lights. I hate parties/weddings/etc. eating up all my money!! These last 3 months have been brutal!
