I got it from the group buy I mentioned earlier. It was organized by member Alex.br (he's also on M5board) but the seller was Roveractive.

Thank you very much for your help. I will look into roveractive further and if not follow some US spec leads and pick up the cables from bruce. Now as these will be going on an M5, are there an significant changes on the headlights or anything else to the LCI versions besides the tail lights?

The LCI headlights do not have the amber reflectors at the corner. The reflector was moved to the bumper. To do an LCI headlight conversion would require buying the BMW retrofit cable and new LCM with programming and lots of labor to do the wiring. Lotsa money....

Thank you for the info, looks like I wont be doing the head light upgrade as the M5 already has a nice set of head lights on them. The tail lights is the biggest upgrade I'm looking to do as the LCI tail lights look great.

LCI headlight setup is like 3-4000 if I remember correctly, it requires you having the back lights too. I have been looking into it but money is a issue for me trying to justify that much on just lights.

Now the LCI headlights look out of reach for me but does anyone know anything about how putting in pre-lci euro spec headlights works. Can they be plug and play without any exspensive modifications and re programming? Also if so where could I get my hands on a set of pre lci euro spec headlights?

Plug n play. I have them on my car. I found a guy selling used ones from eBay Germany for about $700. But I've also seen a few sets being sold on here in the Classifieds section.

Do you know who it was who was selling them? Idc if they are used or not really as long as they aren't cracked or defected.

P.s. Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you too buddy!

I emailed him and will let you know if he has any more sets.

BTW, where are you located?
