Why do you guys slightly think there is coding or anything more involved when you are swapping an OEM BMW tails just with different color turn signals?

I have done this in all of my BMWs and G30 wont be any different. Straight plug and play.

The only coding that is required is if you want to activate the rear fog lights regardless if you have US or EU spec lights.
This thread was first started when G30 first came out 2 years ago. At that time, nobody knew if the turn signals would be like the 7 series / X5 where they use the brake signals as well as the turn signal elements.

It is now common knowledge (on this forum at least) that the G30 US spec turn signals have the same element as the Euro ones, as what you are used to. So yes, you are correct there will be no coding required for this mod.
