F36 LCI tail lights

I really want to install the LCI tail lights on my 2015 428i gran coupe but I can barely find any aftermarket ones, and the ones I've seen are only the euro edition and cost more than 1,000$. The 3 series LCI tail lights seem to be very accessible aftermarket and a fraction of the cost. Does anyone know why that is? has anyone recently swapped these tail lights for their 4 series? if so can you link me to a good website to get these aftermarket thanks.

I'm following too.

Why? That's because 3 series are more common than a 4 series. So aftermarket companies target those owners with product. Example 3 series comes with halogen headlights so you see plenty of led headlight out there

So far 4 series option is OEM Lci brake lights.

Sometimes you get what you pay for with aftermarket components. There are reports of replica lights failing or holding condensation in them. Just beware.

Yup... and there is nothing wrong with my pre LCI taillight. Actually I like them better....yeah I know there a bright orange bulb in there. It make my car faster.

Actually I also try to avoid rattles in the future by not...poking my car alot especially body parts, plastic parts and interior parts.

ive been asking and searching for weeks! lol

literally the same issue.

they either cost $900-1500, ive seen no inexpensive depos, but as some members mentioned then you run into potention issues, with those...

as much as i like them im not sure i want to shell out that kinda money for tail lights.
