Looks the same which was on mine also pre lci and worked fine. I'm guessing it is a one size fits all deally

winther1 · 08-19-2021, 11:00 AM

Oh hell no! Apparently I need to tear the boot apart to get to the inner tail light plugs and run the pre-lci wire. How a you running the wire past the hinge?
Was quoted £160 for the job by Mstyle, but a 4 weeks waiting list. Anyone know a good place in the London area? Doubt BMW will have anything to do with aftermarket parts

You could try Auto Modz https://www.automodzgarage.com/ in east london. I used them to replace a control module on my old car. Price was reasonable and work was good. They offer full lighting retro fits so am sure they could help.

Based in E13

Thank you mate. Unlike other places I called, these guys knew exactly what these lights are. Decent rate at £119 - will book my car in and save myself a lot of headache

Look forward to seeing the end result did you get the V2 versions? Much prefer the full width brake light on the V2.

I’m really pleased with how they look on my 340i

If you skip to 10:30 in this video it shows the start sequence nicely. When I take videos on my phone a get flicker

From what I've seen, you need to route the wire in the flexible tubing that circled below (but on the RHD side).

They are from Vland and I was told there is only one version of the new f32-36 lights

Aha yes they are the same style as the Vland V2 for the f30 which what I have.

Red or Smoked/Blackline? This video should answer your question. Installed smoked on one side and red on the other.

shiftdnb · 09-03-2021, 12:51 PM

Smoked looks better on some cars like this White but the red looks better on Blue
