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.

I have already found info about this adapter set and I am trying to send them back for refund.
I have decided to buy bruce miranda e60 V6.11 tail-light retrofit cables
E60 V6.11 LCI Tail-light Retrofit cables - Forum Discount
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?

Check the classified for a used one and maybe that will. Be your best of getting a cheaper adapter GL

I did also buy this crap. The seller doesen´t even know where you should plug the pins. I leaved it back and buyed Bruce cables.

the loose wire you connect to the license plate light,
the dongle is for disable errors.

"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"

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

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
