Whether the LED tubes light up or not depends on how you set up things in the iDrive or BC menu. AND if you leave the headlight switch set in "Auto" or not. When you leave it in AUTO... the led tubes will light up and dim when lock/unlocking.
LCI = Life Cycle Impluse
It basically means the "face-lift" models.
Early e82's had three LED bars. LCI cars have the two swoopy LED bars.
Then there is also the LCI Blackline version, which has a dark tint to the tail lamps. These "blacklines" are only sold in the EU and do not have DOT type approval. A lot of guys here bought their blacklines thru mail order German BMW dealers.
original e82 tail light...
LCI blacklines...
