LCI type LED rear lights fitted to Pre-LCI E90*Upated with night pics*

So i tinted my rear pre-LCI E90 lights a few months ago with red film, really liked the result. But a few months later, the tint film has faded with sunlight.

I didnt fancy the OEM Darklines retrofit, and wanted to keep the more update rear LCI lights look, so bought these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271609673972

Fitted them today, as always with aftermarket items, the fit wasn't perfectly OEM, but overall result is great, and the actual lights are great quality, and very happy



Some night/light on pics (sorry only iPhone pics)

Looking excellent. Finally somebody took the courage to try them.

I considered them for my previous E90 2 years ago and at that time only one Australian company was producing these for £260+shipping+VAT.
So, went for LCI conversion.

I'll try to get some night/dusk shots but need to get DSLR out for that, the iPhone camera just isn't up for the job...But take my word for it, they look good in the dark

I have no problems recommending these lights to any Pre-LCI owners wanting to freshen up the rear end.

Looks good, do they need coding or are they straight forward plug and play?

Updated with some night/lit up shots at top of thread.

Also these are plug and play, no errors or need for coding so far.

Wait.....
There is one led bar in the inner parts of these lights and that is brighter than outer two led bars. It appears that you have turned on rear fog light as that is how these lights appears when you turn on rear fog lights on OEM LCI tail lights.



If you like them then
