2 questions:
1) What's the coding for? 2) What is the fifth wire for? I guess part of the above might be for the amber indicator? I'm in Australia so that is standard so might be even simpler to swap in some LCI tail lights as they look fantastic! |

The fifth wire has to be for the separate amber blinker since it is not required on US lights and just Euro and it's the difference in the lights.

Coding was simply a matter of engaging with Vic and setting up my laptop.

Yeah, I promised Abdul I would share/spread the good news and good experience. It's very easy to praise this supplier, top notch communication and customer service. Vic as well, but his reputation is outstanding. I'll use him again if I need any coding.

What shop in Boston? Also, what happens when the car is at the dealer and new SW is downloaded, will it overwrite the code changes that were needed to get the LCI lights to work?

Does anyone know what software version is needed for this retro fit. I have a 2018, I believe the software has not been updated in quite some time. Need to know before I take the leap. Thanks

Hey Joe,
Thanks for your post. Do you know the difference between the euro-spec LCI and the North America LCI lights? I followed your lead with the MPower euro-spec, and they arrived last week…just prior to setting up the install I realized there was a NA version of the lights available on MPower too. I’m in a 2018 540i here in the U.S. Sounds like euro-spec worked out great for you, but just wondering if you knew the differences. Hopefully I didn’t buy the wrong ones lol🤞 |

The only extra step for the Euro lights is a jumper wire from inner to outer. The blinkers are different as mentioned above, but visually, they look identical on the car. Good luck. Hopefully you read through the DIY thread on the F90 group. https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1804297
