2011 135i Halogen LCI tail lights from 2013 128i won't work

[overklok]

Hello,

I sold a set of perfectly functioning LCI tail lights from a 2013 128i with halogen lights to a fellow forum user who has a 2011 135i with halogen lights. He cannot seem to get the new lights to work. Could this be a footwell module problem? Does he need to code the new lights? I was under the impression this was a plug and play installation. They both worked perfectly on my 2013 128i.

Thanks for the help!!

were both tail lights the LED versions?

Are there LED and non-LED versions of the LCI halogen tail lights? If I recall correctly the ones I sold have regular light bulbs I could see in the red area of the lens. Are there LEDs located in other places, that I cannot see?

I don't think they are technically different, aren't they?

Should be P&P.

If you sold them to an American, they will never work as he's got xenons.

No but in here in Australia, i've seen some 1er's with halogen headlights but had LED tail lights, usually 125i's (same as the 128i).

Oh and one more thing, i thought all 135i's came with xenon headlights standard?

I think only Australian/Euro market 135s have xenon standard. I believe it was still an option in the North American market.

America's 135i has xenons standard.
