Yes, infact the US spec cars have always been like this even in the pre-LCI except in the US cars there is no rear fog light so the circle light is the BFD light both for pre-LCI and LCI cars.

Hi,

You probably already know that Bruce does the number plate LED wiring kit too, if you havnt already got the LEDs they are cheap enough direct from BMW.
I have the same car as yours and they look brill at night.

Anyone know any canadian prices for doing this swap? i LOVE those lights, they really stand out and make the rear end look amazing. I have my BMW dealer pricing it up for me now... but is there alternatives?!?!

Thanks,

Aartsy

Yea my car was set up to have the circular tail light (the inner most light) as the Adaptive brake light. And the inner and outter ones shown in the picture above are always used for braking. I believe my LCI tails with V3 cables use the inner and outter for brake lights just like my Pre-LCI did
