I know they are not original but a set of used lci tails go for almost a grand! I believe that is plain ridiculous!
That's not including the special wiring.....

Go for it dude. I upgraded to these same ones and im completely satisfied. Im more impressed with these than oem lci tail. the led turn signals that blink are amber......which match all around.....unlike the red turns on lci.
the lighted rods are awesome and also has the little red led side markers. why spend $1000 plus for the same thing.
just my opinion.

No it doesn't. You can buy a set new for under $600.

As for the retrofit though... too bad you're not closer to me, otherwise I can do the retrofit for you much cheaper than buying plug and play cable.

Although, if you can code or have access to coding, I suppose I can help you remotely.

just my opinion.

You can just order Euro LCI tails if you prefer yellow. Obviously a matter of opinion, but there is no replacement for OEM LCI tails. Nothing comes close to the look. And it totally doesn't look the same if you actually know what the differences are.

Where are you guys seeing LCI tails for $1000? That's way overpriced and if you get Euro tails then they blink amber.

Damn, two mins late. Shouldn't have been playing with the kid, LOL.

Okay, so $600 ... coding ... cables,..
For under $200, you are getting a set very very similar.
True, real BMW enthusiasts can tell but are they paying your bills DAKEST??

heres a couple snap shots of what youll be getting, u judge....
