LCI tails for non-xenon cars
Pardon my newb-ness but I couldn't find anything definitive. I want to do an update to the LCI style taillights but my car is a non-xenon. Am I S.O.L.? If not, can someone provide a link to where I can snag a set that will work with my car?
Thanks Last edited by synthsis; 09-16-2013 at 09:37 PM.. |

From the first link OEM Part #: 63212225282 (Xenon version of the taillights) ARE 100% PnP with any 1 series car (128 or 135) in production in the world! Please see note about the Halogen set below though... THE HARNESS IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THESE TO WORK. The Halogen (cheaper ones) DO NOT work on halogen equipped cars 2008-2011 and cause the parking/running lights to not work Edit: added link. These are the ones you want (and where everyone is ordering from) http://www.schmiedmann.com/en/bmw-e8...3-21-2-225-282 See this whole there about this here: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...LCI+blacklines http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...klines&page=12

LEDs don't work with LCI halogens.
Let me clarify: U.S.A. 2013 128i w/halogens. Still look good, though, and I'm researching coding options.

LCI 1ers equipped with halogens will not work with xenon blacklines.
You will need to either swap the current wire for the running lights/1st brake light to the 3rd and empty socket to power the LED's, or alternatively you can run some wiring up from the number plate lights to power the LED's. Note: By swapping the first wire to the empty socket cancels out your outter brake lights and uses the LED's as running AND brake lights. They will work as per usual, but when you brake the LED's will also light up brighter. |
