If I have an '08 535i US Spec, could I just swap out for the Euro Spec Amber Taillights without the need for cables?
Thanks!
Thanks!

you would need to replace the whole assembly to get the little leds that are visible on the side. I mean you can do it by taking apart the lenses assembly drilling holes. mounting leds, wire it up and put back together. can be done but very tedious.
hey Gen, where did you get your license plate bulbs, are they the ones from brabusw209amg

on euro cars there are a row of about 5 LED lights amber front and red rear (only visible from the side of the car) located top side corner of the lights
are these the same for US cars and if so what colour are the LED's i ask as your turn signals are red (so side markers would not show up?)

and Red in the back on both sides, they are the LCI models so 08+ models
but the euro difference is the Turn signals on the back
US = RED LED's
EURO = AMBER LED's
both are LCI models
