LCI tail lights

Tpriest7893 · 12-17-2023, 06:26 PM

Has anyone had any success with an aftermarket LCI set of tails for the g30 5 series?

I have a 2020 pre LCI and would love to upgrade the tail lights.

Are they’re any models that are plug and play?

Any input or advice is appreciated, thank you

I was looking at these but I haven’t seen any installations or reviews from anyone on here that has them

I did see those but for the price you could get OEM, I’m hoping to find a nice pair for half of OE retail

Theres tons of discussions regarding LCI tails being installed.

Ive installed OEMs for about two years now and a few aftermarket knock offs have came out since then which you can find on amazon/ebay. Search on this forum for LCI tails and you should see numerous discussions or just jump on amazon and grab a pair.

Oh, I went with OEM tails almost three years ago, well before the Chinese started copying them. I still would go OEM today though.

Yeah the price different is much it seems like OEM would be the way, are the oem plug and play or do you need a wire harness? I have not read into that part yet. I know the off brands come plug and play

OEM requires wiring, repinning and coding. All here, it is long, skip to where I come in:
