Help with replacing rear lights please

Sheepy · 10-23-2015, 02:32 AM

Hi, the rear light clusters on my pre LCI E92 have misted up (probably caused by cleaning product that I cannot remove) so I have bought some identical second hand replacements from eBay & was wondering if they are a straight swap or will they require coding? I am only talking about the smaller rear clusters that fit into the boot as the main bigger rear light clusters do not suffer from this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Simply plug and play, they will only need coding if the are LCI and even then you just get a bulb warning.

Totally straight forward swap. Takes longer removing the bootlid liner.

Cheers guys, will get them swapped over a.s.a.p providing I can get the boot carpet off!

As long as they are pre lci your fine, easy to install and work straight away.

I have one of them trim removal kits and there is a few tools useful for getting the boot liner off. The screw for the inner lights can be bit tricky too if I remember
