F32 LCI tails installed

Just finished adding LCI tails to my '14 435i. Spent the evening figuring out how to make the inner light turns work, super happy with the results.

They must have cost a pretty penny! How much were they?

Very nice! I was thinking about adding a LCI set to my 2012 f30.

Where did you purchase them from? The issues you were having were with the coding or wiring?

my inner light turn signal is not working for only one side. What was the issue with yours and how did you solve it?

LCI Tails

Hey guys, thanks for the responses, glad you all liked! I got them on ebay from Denmark. Here's a link to the web store: http://www.ebay.com/usr/elias.perfor...72.m2749.l2754

and the actual lights:http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-OEM-Tail...707587?vxp=mtr

Wiring the inner tails

The outer tail lights are plug and play, super easy. The inner ones required a little work as the connector on the light doesn't match the connector on the car.

I hacked mine together, someone with more electrical skill could probably make an elegant connector, but basically I followed the diagram (see pic).

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.

Not sure about the f36 tail, I'd check realoem.com and compare part numbers.

When I get back home from Maui next week I'll post some pics of my connections

Gotta say it looks really good! And I don't just mean the LCI tails - which are gorgeous - but everything. Its is very well put together - the debadging, the fitment of the 437M's - very clean. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
