Tail lights

[Lexington]

As a result of a service bulletin back in 2010, I had the seals replaced in both tail lights. A year later the driver's side tail light went out and was replaced under warranty. I asked that they also replace the right side tail light presuming it was only a matter of time before it would go out. They wouldn't do it. Right side light went out last week. Dealer wants $390 for the tail light assembly plus labor to install. Having them check with BMWNA for some "goodwill" as I'm 2 years out of warranty.

For a little over $320 you could order some Blacklines that are totally PnP order the kit that ends with #282 part number. Schmiedmann.com or ECS are good places to find them. Installing the tail lights is VERY easy to do. I even made a DIY on 1Addicts. Or order the regular lci tails from a dealer. Getbmwparts.com

Good alternative. Thanks. In this case, BMW decided to cover the cost of the tail light. I paid for the installation.

Do you know if Blacklines will work with a 2009 135I? I was told that you it didn't have the wiring in place to accomadate?

You were misinformed.

LCI tails and/or Blacklines(#282 kit/pair) work on all 1er coupe cars.
