Thanks aps, I appreciate the response. Although ,there’ll be one more update to the trim install in a near future. I find the light emitted from the panel is a little too intense because the dash isn’t diffusing the light as much as the door panels are. I’ve got an idea of how to rectify/tune the system, because as it stands right now; the light hurts my eyes at night.
Anyways, this is the real reason why I’m posting today. To share how I completed my LCI tail light swap, what parts I used, and what coding I programmed into the car to work error free. All parts are OEM, and being as though I used the BMW LCI retrofit harness meant I didn’t have to splice anything. This means the mod is 100% reversible if I choose to remove it at a later date.
Parts I used:
Left Outter light (p/n 63217369115)
Right outer light (p/n 63217369116)
Left inner light (p/n 63217369121)
Right inner light (p/n 63217369122)
Left drip rail (p/n 51497453333)
Right drip rail (p/n 51497453334)
LCI retrofit harness (p/n 61122410220)
Instructions I used:

Coding:
This is what took the most time to research. I’m not a fan of blindly coding my car to a posted online list because sometimes, the person creating that list has a different spec car than mine, or they wanted extra things coded.. Whereas I wanted to code the car exactly how BMW did. So off to the dealer I went to sit in a recently traded in 2018 F30 and spend a couple hours going through codes to cross-reference online lists. Then I had to cross-reference how my car was coded to expedite the actual coding session to mitigate errors.
Coding wizards might notice that not every Warm or Cold check was needing to be turned off. Plus, despite every post, I never made any changes to the RFS (back-up light) because it wasn't changed to LED. Lastly, the headlights were turned on while I was taking the photos; so, no I didn't enable rear daytime running lights.
