Ok ! One evening for understand who is who in schematics.Afternoon to solder new wires from older connectors to LCI taillights and evening to check out LMA 1 coding and do some tricks with NSCexpert.
Tomorrow I`ll go for hatch lights part(its not e60 its e61)-more work to do.Now the main tail lights working good.No errors no strobing.

I'm guessing in NCS-Expert you disabled the check-control on the rear lights (Kaltuberwachung-Warmuberwachung) to avoid strobing? Is there anything else that need to be recoded? I guess not...
The led bars, do they take 12V or is a resistor needed in the wiring to lower the voltage on them?
Is a resistor needed over the turn indicators to make them blink in a normal fashion (not fast as if one is broken)?
I'm also thinking of retrofitting the LCI tails for a while now but the price of the lights and an additional module is a little over the budget I want to spend on it. So I was thinking of doing it in a similar way as you did. Nice to see it's working out for you.
