I just checked a recent production retail unit. They're not exactly red nor are they Amber. The LED's themselves are red but the light prism is Amber, so they're, well, very orange.

Thank you. Were the turn signal light elements the same as the Euro spec or was it like the 7 series where the brake elements also flash? This would be the difference between a plug and play swap or a coding and wiring change.

Unfortunately I didn't have anyone to hold down the brake pedal so I don't know.

Finally saw the rear of the car on the street. Car looks nice! Good news is that only the L shape of the indicator is used just like the Euro model, so it should be pretty straightforward for a plug and play swap, without coding.

Now that I'm waiting for my car to arrive, I found a vendor on eBay that is selling them. Has anyone else done a retrofit for these? See the following thread: https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1582620

There is NOTHING to this retrofit.
Buy the EU Spec Lights, take off your US Spec lights and reinstall EU lights with amber turn signals.....Voila, you are done. 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.

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.

This is something that Audi does with their US spec cars which drives me crazy. It took a while to figure out how to code our SQ5 when I swapped out the lights. I hope BMW doesn't go in Audi's direction and combine brake and turn signal lights! Of course they all get away only for N. American market as the rest of the world would not accept this nonsense.

Maybe on my next car after this I'll be reaching out to you help code this nonsense away.

It was unbelievable to me that no one was able to code Q5 almost 5 years after introduction. I did bunch of research, trial and error coding and was able to figure things out. Then the right thing to do of course is share it with the community https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q5-...mbers-2883472/

Hello, to see if you can guide me with this topic. I want to put the American adaptive led. Originally my M550i model has the European adaptive led. The difference is that the American model has the side beacon.
for example left side: Investigating I put references: left European headlight: 63117214963. Left US headlight: 63117214965. European left flashing LED module: 63117214941. US left LED module: 63117214943. The following references for the other modules are the same for both the US and EUROPEAN models. I think that by removing my European headlight and mounting the US one, everything will work the same and I will have the US led WITHOUT PROBLEMS. |
