My Ride: 2006 520d - 19" 172s- Remapped - LCI taillights V6 cables - LCI xenon headlights - Denison 500 with BTA1500 - led interior lights - OEM led number plate lights
Planned mods:
Folding mirrors - Modmynav kit - High gloss shadowline trim -
All I can say is, you will not have to do anything with the connectors like I did, total time to do this will be 5 minutes minutes for both lights. Simple instructions will be provided. The only thing you need to do is buy the bulbs at the closest autopart store and follow the instructions -- Cant make it any more simple 
I will have the pictures soon
AND did I say ZERO IDRIVE ERRORS

Guys,
I under estimated the effort with the DIY, however I will offer this kit for the first 10 customers @ 30 dollars + shipping
You will see 2 pictures here
1. The wires with the taps (The wires have all the electronic conversion concealed)
The green wire taps the green wire on your cable and the blue heat shrink will tap the blue wire. I will explain how you will be doing it in your purchase kit.
2. The 2 Bulbs - If you notice closely the bulbs are different bulbs one you cannot find anywhere. I would request even my first 10 customers to buy the bulbs from me so that its a complete kit. The bulbs will be another 20/- bucks for 4 bulbs(you need 4 bulbs).
If you want to make these bulbs I can also show you how to do it.
This Mod is COMPLETELY REVERSABLE -- So anytime you wana go back to where you started from,you can do so.
Also, Bruce Cable you paid a ton of money to buy is 100% safe with this mod so you dont have to worry abt it.
Let me know if I am missing something, anyone in VA\DC\MD area, I can install this stuff for you if you want
PM's welcome !

no i get that you need bruce cables
but i am speaking of the box in the middle of the cables
do they just skip over the box itself straight to the other side of the bruce cable?
pics of the final product installed would help alot
i know i am asking alot but im sure everyone would want to know this as well so it can be as clear as possible and it be cut and dry

Should be able to get you the pics today late evening when I get home.
To answer your initial question -- All modifications will be done near the tail light connector you currently have. The Connector that connects the SILVER BOX to the actual tail light assembly. This should clear up your first question but I agree the pictures will say it all

This should clear all doubts
The pictures have been taken step by step.
When your done tapping you can bind the wires with an ellectical tape. It was 30 degrees outside so wanted to do this ASAP, took me 10 min on one side so I would say it would take you like 15 on each side.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE turn on your car without changing the bulbs -- Or should I say change the bulbs before you do anything.
There is one last step that needs to be done which will be mentioned in the DIY kit you get. It will take 1 second to do that
Without doing that the trick aint going to work.
Open to questions
I know we all love the LCI conversions we did but this is going to be like icing on the cake. When I saw the LCI lights on other 5series cars, I just followed them and when they hit the brake, I felt like there was absolutely no differene between LCI and Non LCI, this will solve that problem COMPLETELY.
As you can see the BULBS will let out very little light, barely enough for themselves. This effect helps add the extra punch to the tail light without flushing the LCI rods.
