boostpak When you say "halogens" most members think headlights. But on your 125i(128i) late production you probably mean your tail light bulbs are also halogen and don't have the LCI led tubes. Correct ?
Recently I was contacted by user carscatscoffee15 he has a late production 128i (US spec) with LCI halogen tail lights. He ordered the #282 Blackline kit but the LED tubes do not light up. His car has the FRM3 footwell module.
I think he will need to use a jumper wire to make his blackline LED tubes light up. But IF anyone knows for sure... PLEASE chime in. I was also wondering IF the LED tubes could be made to work via car coding, like with Carly or some other App. Any thoughts ?
thanks,

Turns out I have an FRM2 in my vehicle and I have gone ahead and ordered an FRM3 MAX Kuester (haven't been able to find much about this particular FRM as most of the threads mention the MAX Brose). Between this and the pin swap/soldering job (I've seen two different methods) I am hoping they work. My mechanic told me I had to run wires from the front of the car to the back to get them to work but I'm not sure if that's also another method on top of the ones covered on the forum.
My car came with stock halogen front headlights with LCI tail lights. I have since done the front xenon conversion.
However the LED tubes on my vehicle never lit up stock. On the new #282 LCI Blacklines, when plugged in with the existing harness only the rear bulbs turn on (not the LED ones like the ones Dackelone posted. I'm guessing I do need a cable jump for it to work
