G30 Lci tail lights retro fit

Samir72 · 07-20-2023, 10:46 AM

So I have had my eye on these 5 series lci style tail lights on Ali express for a while and was just waiting for the price to drop. Which it did the other day and I picked up a set to see how they look 👀.

Paid extra for post and they came super quick to the China to U.K. in 7 days and no custom charges either. Was marked down to $68 🫡

They have a really nice smooth start up animation but unable to pick it up on iPhone video.

Super easy fitting process and much easier to clip the inner lights than with my old GTS style ones

Samir72 · 07-20-2023, 10:50 AM

Will take some night time shots later

Yeah I was anxious to see if I got hit with import charges, but they very nicely put $68 on the customs form

Not normally keen on the aftermarket rear lights, but these do look really good 😃

When search via google it defaults to the app, but just type F30 tail lights and see the pics for the seller I used.

They offer free shipping but paid option is well worth it.

Samir72 · 07-23-2023, 11:20 AM

Using my Canon EOS no rear light flicker, really liking how these look with mineral grey paint.

Mista_ediee · 07-23-2023, 12:43 PM

Those look great! I got mine a few days ago and install was smooth as well, no errors thrown. You got a hell of a deal! I paid $465.

Thanks Bro, they do look so good against the mineral grey. I was waiting for a promo offer to grab them the best bit was zero customs charges.

Did you upgrade from the GTS style?

How about that start up animation.

dangerus_car · 07-24-2023, 04:48 AM

is there any startup animation like GTS? if so, care to show video of it?

Thanks.

paimon.soror · 07-24-2023, 07:52 AM

probably similar to this: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...22&postcount=7

Mista_ediee · 07-24-2023, 09:31 AM

The startup sequence is similar, but a little longer than that.

Lights look really good on mineral grey and on lowered car - give the car a "wide & stanced" look similar to M3.

Thanks Bro, Definitely prefer the look over the GTS.

Looking at the pictures it does make the rear look wider too

paimon.soror · 07-24-2023, 02:49 PM

it also really blends in nicely with the rear valence reflectors.imo
