Anyone interested in Installing new LCI tail lights on my 2015 F31 touring? I'll pay cash. (I have the lights and harness. I believe the wires may need to be lengthened) They will need to be coded too! I'm in Chino Hills CA. Thanks!

I did the DIY retrofit on my 2015 F30 328i awhile ago, and have since sold the car. I followed this guy's guide on Youtube:

It seems like a straight forward installation but it takes awhile to install. My install took about 5-6 hours. I don't remember the exact mapping, but the inner taillight harnesses are switched out, while outer ones are the same. You will also need to tap into the outer light turn signal wire to the inner, so the inner turn signals activate when the outer ones go off. Another thing to be careful is with the harnesses themselves. They are quite difficult to open and snap very easily. I had to force the plastic clamp, holding the pins, open. But after they are open, its a breeze to take out the pins. From there its just making sure you get the pin mapping right and properly routing the wires. My right side eventually failed because the wire I had to tap into for the turn signal pinched and shorted when the exposed wire pressed against the chassis. That resulted in hyper-blinking and a broken turn signal. (very annoying haha)

But overall I think it was a interesting project if you are pretty electronics savvy. That Youtube video helped me a great deal with the installation. If not I think maybe shops like SSR Performance in Irvine or any other shop can maybe take on the project. But this project convinced me that I'm no good at working on cars...So I never do any installations myself now.

Sick F30! Did I sell you those RK II's?
I'm no good at electrical so I'll leave it to the pro's. Thanks for responding tho!

Did you get the LCI drip rails as well? - the pre-LCI ones will not fit/work correctly.

You will need these LCI Drip Rails (some people call them gutter covers):
Left: 51497453333 (51492582781 - Ended)
Right: 51497453334 (51492582782 - Ended)

Thanks for looking out! I have already bought them!

No need to extend wires if you buy the pre made wiring kit (I got these ones: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/394805930931?)

It does require some coding though once you have attached the wires. The outside lights are just remove & unplug, plug and re-install. It is the ones on the tailgate that require to thread the extra two wires into the passenger side trunk to connect.
