f32 LCI Tail Lights Install, will pay $$$

Most likely around June/July I plan on buying:

-LCI tail lights retrofit kit from getbmwparts.com
-aftermarket plug and play harness.

Before I go around asking autobody shops I figured I would post here.
Is there anyone who would be willing to install and CODE the lights for me?

I have a 15' 435 xdrive, I am willing to make it worth your while $$$.

Located in southern Fairfield county Connecticut. PM if your serious.

How much are you willing to pay?

I can give you some help if you decided to DIY

I did mine awhile back but I can only give you some remote help and I will not charge you anything

It's not as difficult as you may think

probably in the ball park of at least $500(contingent upon everything working including coding)

Yea i've seen the DIY's on youtube it doesn't look like the most difficult thing in the world, its touching the circuits, cutting wires, and coding with esys(not even sure if thats the correct spelling lol) is what I have 0 confidence in doing myself.

I appreciate your offer and if it comes to that i'll def. give you a shout of course id have to venmo something for the time(incentives always help)

Yea but i wouldn't consider myself too mechanically savvy lol (never done an oil change, probably practice on my altima after this post ) I bought Bimmercode (used preset codes to change some things already dont know how to use expert mode at all), I have the obdii(wifi wireless) from when I flashed my DME to stage 2(soon stage 2+).

Not sure if you are being half serious or not but 500 (or 499) I am willing to pay man as this is my first BMW so id rather a seasoned enthusiast do the job...

You should be able to change from incandescent to LED in non expert mode on the app just gotta select the right module. It's been a while but I know you can do it. Lol damn dude if you were close I'd help you out just to help you. don't want any money

Agreed, but I figured it was a number people would see and definitely be interested in doing the work. I also figured it might broaden my chances by getting peoples interests sparked from out of state if it came down to that. (NJ, NY, MA, or where ever)

I have some extra money because our firm has been busy during this crazy time so im not that concerned with the cost, that being said I may just get some quotes form a body shop, probably purchase the lights mid June.

I did this retrofit myself. its not hard. and you can code with bimmercode or Carly. you must tap into the remote wires for the inner lights to work. if you need any assistance, feel free to contact me. I also have a 2015 435. follow my build on Instagram @435igc.

I hear its not too difficult from various members but im still nervous when it comes to splitting wires and dealing with the electric system lol. Looks like im going to have to do this myself (watch every youtube DIY and reach out to the forums).

Thanks man i'll reach out to you when the time comes, cant wait to freshen up the back to make it more modern looking
