They look great! I'm thinking of doing this at some point but maybe with the new darker MP shadow version when available if they are also direct fits.

I have an F36. Did you ever get a chance to take pics? I'm having trouble getting my inners to work. Can you please post exactly what you did. Pictures would also be a great help. I got my lights from the link you posted. I made a wire harness, but I may have to go your route, but I need more info. Thanks

I cut off the connector from my old light, labelled the wires from the new light (1 through 6), then cut the connector off of the new light.

The diagram shows you how to connect the wires from the new light to the car, with only one wire remaining from each light that has to be run to the REM. This is where I spliced into the respective turn signal wires for each side.
So:

1. C represents the old connector pigtail as plugged into the car?

2. A represents the new connector s=with the plug cut off (wires only)?

3. What happens to wire 2 on the new connector once you cut it off?

Thanks!

Amazing transformation, well done.

I just went to the user to see if the lights were still available, but unfortunately the user no longer exists.

Has anyone recently been able to get a hold of some OEM LCI taillights for the F32?

Did you even bother to search more on eBay? There are quite a few listings.

I didn't like them at first but now they are growing on me. I think I'll change mine out once the next generation 4 series makes its debut.

Hi guys, Kalbranai,
Did you have to do just that encoding?
No need to code other things with e-sys?
