I've done some searching, but a lot of the threads are old.

What is the consensus best place to get OEM LCI tail lights for the e92? I saw some for around $650 with plug and play wiring harness.

1) Best price for OEM LCI Tail Lights?
2) Do you still have the coding issue?
3) I have a 2010 built in August 2009, do I need that separate part?
4) Do the lights flicker for the first 20 seconds without coding, but otherwise fine?

Thanks.

Anyone do this or have advice on getting the LCI look?

1. check tischer bmw..i think i saw it for 590 for the tail light retro fit
2, i have a 2008, so yes i do
3, are you talking about FRM 3? you dont need it regardless. you do need the retro fit harness though
4, Also you get that rapid blinking when use turn signals

Can you code out the issue on rapid blinking?

I think I found it.

The question is, do I need coding and FRM3 with this kit? I have no idea if I have FRM3 or not.

You only need FM3 if you gonna have the dealership code them, otherwise, you can code out the light error yourself, or use Carly For BMW.

Coding i required for bulb error

yes you just have to code it out. Although I havent done that part yet... just got the tail lights swapped 4 days ago..

Good luck!

Did you install yourself? Where did you get the lights? Price?

yea it was installed by the member i swapped with, but its nothing complicated at all, just three nuts and take our your old lights/bulbs..

in regards to price it was a swap, so not comparable.

But I would have bought them from Tischer, since that is pretty much the best price ive seen

$590 not bad

1) Google.com

3) No.
4) Yes, plus dashboard errors.

Code is required. I have 08 E92 running LCI.
Just have to get harness to install.
You will get side blinker errors. Just have to code those two out.(left blinker,right blinker).
No error code or flicker after coding.
