LCI Black lines
I want to update tail lights on my 12 128i from halogens to LCI Black lines. I like the LED bars on the lights they stand out great. Halogens are just too boring. I have a non xenon package, if i install black lines would the LED bars lit? do i need any decoding? or just plug and play.

.. I installed xenon blacklines on my halogen 2010 128i and they work without issue. When i tried using halogen blacklines they didn't have the running lights working properly. IE they wouldn't turn on under any circumstances. Brake lights and signals worked however.
Short story, get xenon blacklines regardless if youre halogen or not.

ECS tuning has them
Schmiedmann has them also for a bit cheaper.

I've never really noticed it, but i like it. I think its the rear fogs since in all of these pictures i had my front fogs on. I'll double check this tonight to see if thats the case.
edit: yeah, those are the rear fog lights. here's a pic of when i just turned on the running lights manually(1st position to the right from vertical position).

Hm, i didn't know that. I have a 9/2010 build date so i suppose anything before the LCI update will be fine. So what lights up as the running lights on your blacklines without modifications?

BUT! Just get the LCI blacklines whenever you can afford them. Everthing will work normally EXCEPT the LEDs. They still look gorgeous, especially on an LMBM car I might add. |

You need to order the #282 blackline kit for xenon cars. I think as long as its a US model... they should work. At least that is what other forum members here have reported. I think its bc the US cars have a higher content with the lighting package... and the FWM3 are coded to work with the xenon LCI tails. I would order the #282 Blacklines from Schmeidermann.com

I would and did order P/N 63212225282 anyway, as I will hook the LEDs up ASAP. That said, Dack, I get to go to a Dortmund football game Friday! (I'm currently in Essen/Dortmund), and am driving with my friend/company rep to Munich Saturday for some sort of music festival (Turkish Saturday?) "für meinen Geburtstag". You're welcome to join (us in Munich) and the bier is on me. Last edited by Suprgnat; 10-30-2013 at 04:13 PM.. Reason: I can't get other tickets to football game! |

Ok, thanks for the added info. But if you look at the very last post in this LCI tail light thread... post #26... @andrey_gta said they worked for him. ? http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...=738987&page=2 And here is the MEGA lci tail light thread. I am pretty sure there are a few 128i halogens with xenon lci tails on them. LCI tail lights- can you retrofit them to an 08/08 E82 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=512006 BMW does make an adaptor wiring harness for use on LCI tails for some cars. Most guys say you do not need it. But I have seen some say they did need it. bmw p/n 61359240534 Quote:
I am not sure what my plans are for Sunday. I might be down in Munich but I am not sure at the moment. I'll let you know if I will be down there. Thanks for the friendly offer and invite. Dack

When turned on, the rear fogs have a separate indicator light on the dashboard. |

LCI tail light LEDs work on PRE LCI halogen cars. LCI tail light LEDs DO NOT work on LCI halogen cars. This is consistent with what you've posted, and free beer (or whatever) consumption is not predicated on your acceptance. |
