Original e60 lci rear lights + plug and play adapter set from ebay help!
Hi
I bought this oem (hella) lci rear lights + plug and play adapter set for my 06 e60 pre lci car from ebay:
Original BMW 5er E60 LCI Facelift Rückleuchten SET + Adapter + Codier-Dongle | eBay
They say that it´s plug and play solution and installation takes max 15min but these "plug and play adapters" look like this:
There wasn´t any instructions how to install these adapters so I have no idea where should I put those 1-3 numbered wires, 1 and 2 don´t even have any kind of connectors with them. So if someone knows how to install these so called plug and play adapters I would really appreciate if you can help me.

Is this the best solution for bmw e60 2006 prelci EU car?
Do you know where I can find that forum discount code for those cables?

"dongle" is actually a resistor. you can buy this wiring kit from BMW cost £25 (retrofit kit for LCI LED lights inc plugs for front lights) then add correct resistor!!
BMW part number for retrofit wiring kit 61120432110 check on google what it look like basically same without a "dongle"
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=61...w=1846&bih=926
by the way retrofit kit will not work without a "dongle" because to retrofit it officially you need to do FRONT and REAR LCI lights with new Light module LM2
they charge 195 EUR for that wiring bought of BMW for £25 plus resistor so smart people
BMW 5er E60 Adapter + Dongle Anschluss Set für LCI Facelift Rückleuchten! | eBay
would be nice if someone who already bought it to open "dongle" to see what resistor is used and post a little DIY so anyone could make their own retrofit cables
