Not quite but the installation is quite straight forward. No errors or flickering as they are coded correctly

They do make quite a difference in person, not just the great new led tail light but also the lights are physically 3D how they prodrude from the bodywork.

Totally agree. The 3D styling makes a big difference. Transforms the back end, especially when the lights are on!

Lights were a steal off eBay. They were advertised as just F30 rear lights. Would say around £350 all in with the new harnesses and coding.

That is mega cheap! The seller must not have realised their desirability for retrofitting!

It's very cheap considering it makes the car look pretty much brand new (apart from the less obvious LCI changes) Car is 2 years old already!!
