I think the pre-lci tails look just as good as far as parking lights go, but the halogen brake lights and turn signals make the car look cheap and dated in my opinion, I think what I'm going to end up doing is throwing the OEM taillights up on marketplace and see if anyone wants to trade me DEPO taillights mostly because those come pre wired and I prefer the orange Euro style turn signals over the red.

Absolutely & agreed, it won't be for everyone. The parking lights are gorgeous on pre-lci. What killed it for me was the hue of pink from the brake light + turn signal, just looked so tacky and cheap. You might be able to get a few bucks back from the OEM ones but they're a tough sell since most just upgrade to the DEPO's anyway. But yeah the pre-wired will save you a lot of headache and will save you from splicing and tapping into wirings.

Literally nothing more then a few of those expanding rivets and weather liners.

if you have lci is it just plug n play?

Yes, there's a harness for all LCI vehicles that are 2016+

i just bought the same LCI tail light and the picture shows you the two types of harness it came with.

Does anyone know if the LCI taillights (OEM or Other brand) retain the rear fog light function? I have that coded in my pre-lci taillights.

Rear fog light? What's that. Or are you referring to DRL

There is a rear fog light, one on each side, requires coding to activate since BMW decided to leave it off by default

I never knew, but it looks like it's preserved with the LCI and Depos.

I’ve seen several peole just plug and play from pre LCI to LCI no wiring or coding. I guess it’s depends on the taillights you buy?
