Reverse lights don't work for some reason, It's probably the harness, they said they'll send me a new one, will update later. Other than that, I'm happy with them. |

So I just installed my blackline tailights. The turn signal on the inner tailights don't flash. Any reason why? I know it has to be the harness but any idea what about it? I think the harness I was sent wasn't OEM but I don't know that it would make a difference?

Did it have a bmw label around the wiring or in a plastic bag with a BMW Part Number sticker on it?

It should have had a BMW Part Number 61122410220 on the bag. Also a big wrap around sticker on the wiring. If not, you received a non-OEM harness that isn’t wired properly. (Also, are the wire colors as below?) |

Case in point this post that may answer my question:
http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1373916 OP says he used OEM harness too. Didn't get fixed until he coded. |

Didn't think about that when installing several weeks later and everything installed fine. Wasn't until a month later when I suddenly remembered and went, hmmm.....why did that work? |

I mean if the official harness came with a circuit board like the new ones from USR, it makes sense that there's no coding required. But not when it's just some copper wire with a connector soldered at the end. |

When I installed my OEM taillights using the OEM retrofit harness my lights worked perfectly fine prior to coding. The only thing the coding did was overrode the lighting checks upon start up. You get flickering lights without coding as a result of the check picking up the LED retrofit.
Suggest you look at how you did your repinning when you installed the harness. If it's not the pinning than it's most likely a flawed harness or taillight.

I dont understand. I bought my LCI/harness combo from schmeidmann and didnt have to code shit. No flickering. I've had the lights on for about 6 months. Could it be that my ECU was updated to latest version about a year ago? Dealership was diagnosing a problem and updated it.

Anyone have a cheaper or better place to get these from besides schmiedmanns?
And if not why is the “kit” so much more than buying the harness and lights separately? And what are those extra 2 pieces in the kit pictured? Looking like just around 600$ including shipping, this the going rate ish? |

Here are the part numbers: 51497453333 51497453334 I bought them for about $70 CAD so if you're buying them separate on ebay, you should factor in the price of these things into the overall cost, and see if it actually saves you anything. Also, if you're not in a rush, might I suggest you wait til another eBay 15-20% off day? |

Awesome, good to know on those 2 pieces, so if I'm buying off Ebay just get the lights, the OEM harness and the 2 drop trails total. And ya right now they are doing a 20% off which is why I wanted to pull the trigger
But there isn't a cheaper place people who have these got them from I'm assuming? |
