BMW G30 Rear Light LCI Retrofit

Hello, I just want to share the LCI retrofit in my brother's G30. Just helped him replaced the lights last night, although it seems to be an easy job, it was quite tricky, especially with the coding.


Hope you enjoy. Cheers

Great job!

Any chance you can provide the coding changes?

Is it possible for someone to actually post the coding needed to get this retrofit to function properly? There are several threads out there but none of them post the coding solution

I believe the issue is that majority of these LCI taillight retrofits were all done in "non N. American" spec vehicles with exception (maybe) to a couple of vehicles...therefore, slight chances of not working 100% properly. Let's hope enthusiasts out there are cool enough to share the knowledge, otherwise what is the point of thees forum(s). Just my small $0.02.

Here is a posting on ebay for the light kit supposedly for the US model. Looks like they may be based in the US. But they don't accept returns.
