ok so our blackline Lci's were finally installed today, without any issues what so ever. No module , no harness or coding was required for either 08/09 car.. The only thing was one of my lights had a crack on it and was test fitted to make sure it worked on my car. The seller is sending out a new one!!. Anyway we took a few photo's here they are

vin's before/after

Saweeeeeeeet!

What's the procedure going to be with the cracked light? You sending it back or just ordering another set and selling this one? Hehe option 2 sounds good huh ;-)

Now that I've seen the 2 side by side the black line definitely look better on BSM. They still look 100x better than the old design though

vin sent the guy an email with detailed photos showing the crack, its not pretty , the crack is on the side of the light and is mainly hidden on the surface but it doesn't seal properly so moisture could get in...

Install is real easy I'd say it takes about 20 minutes going slow.

Thank for the kind words guys. I'm really happy with how it turned out, not as dark as I expected but noticeably darker than standard LCI's. Loving it

They look fantastic ..... BSM or white, I think they look great on both. My Carbon Black 1er arrives next week with these light installed from the factory. The wait is killing me!!! Cant wait to get into my new car.

From factory?! That's pretty cool! How much extra was it as an option?

It probably comes stock standard like that? I can't imagine paying for a different taillight as an option!!!

Yeah true, they have a similar list price to the normal LCI lights. Most likely just a free option from factory.

The fact you can get these from BMW Aus should give us comfort in knowing HWP cannot defect the car for "tinted taillights", as they're ADR approved apparently. Sweet!
