The OEM version from BMW use batteries, so there's no wiring. They do have an issue, though, water can eventually get inside and corrode the innards. If you get the OEM you'll see a channel that separates the inner lit logo area from the outer frame. There is weatherstripping tape inside that is supposed to make that joint watertight, but it's not. Fill that joint on the outside with clear silicone sealer.
