Hey Joe,
Regarding the jumper wire (and any pin reconfiguring?), what sort of instructions did you give your install shop or did they just figure it out on their own? |

https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1804297 Then I changed my mind and went with the Euro's instead of US and they actually had a BMW retrofit sheet on it which had the pin assignments and the BDC placement for the 5th wire. They really didn't need my help, but I did my homework to the point that I could have done it myself. I could have actually, but it was work $300 for them to do it to me. I have the retofit doc if you need it. PM your email address and I'll send it later.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Glossy-Blac...-127632-2357-0 I've got the rear fog going with the Euro tails. Not sure how much I'll actually use them. It's foggy like two days a year where I'm at and given fog is caused by a wet surface and the air temp, I probably wouldn't be driving the car. I don't take it if the weather isn't ideal. Stays clean.

What evidence do you have that these are knockoffs, which generally means copies from China?

It's just a shady company that honestly doesn't need to be shady if they just told the truth about the lights and shipping. Yes, there are non U.S. suppliers of the real deal with the logo that will ship here for a few bucks more.

See the other thread a few down for a link to a better vendor.

Hey, sorry if I missed it here but viewing on my phone app is much different than on a computer. Do these LCI retrofits enable rear fog lights as well? Really wish I had that on my pre-LCI 2019 for those days when I need rear fogs in Mass. or when those a*holes everywhere follow too closely.

If you have the wires needed, they will be black and yellow (left) and black and white (right). They are on the inner tail connector. They will on pin 5 for pre LCI lights and moved to pin 1 on LCI. I’d bet the house you have the wire. I’d probably use them more if this car was my daily. I never drive it when the weather is bad or the winter. I knew I had the wire from the LCI install so it was one of those “why not” things in terms of getting the switch and coding it.
