My Ride: 2006 520d SE 163bhp, Saloon, Grey, no factory fit extras, no mods. (yet...).
I am about to have the rear tail lights on my 520d replaced under warranty, and am considering upgrading to the LED version.
I heard that there is a conversion harness which does not cause idrive issues.
Doesn anyone know the cost ?

Why would the tail lights be replaced under warranty, what's wrong with them?
Also forget about the seat change, very costly.
Wouldn't one post been enough?

You really need to discuss this (and many other matters you have posted today) with your BMW dealer.

the posting thing is because my PM function was recently deleted by the spamming issue and I have not been back to the forum for a few months.
Thanks,

The cost of the wireing is cheap. But you might need to change your light control mondule depending on when your car was built.
