Hey Guys,

Thought I'd share my mods this weekend.

Originally i had standard OEM rear lights, look very dated in my opinion.



Then onto the Lamni-x about a year ago..



Now i've gone for the after market LCI reps. They are good quality, figment is slightly off, but after a little playing them seem to fit ok.



Also managed to remove the old car phone in the armrest and replace with try, freeing up a little space.



Next up is polish, debadge and paint the rear valance in matte black to match the grill.

I like, any more shots of your wheels?

[tomwh85]

I've been looking at those lights or similar ones, any pics with the lights on?

[Iyrix]

i'll grab some pics later when it's dark.

Looks good!

I went down the exact same rout with the light on my E90.

I've got the same one, they look good at night, only difference between OEM LCI is inner light has one bar on these, and two on OEM. There are other aftermarket light (eBay) which do two bars.

Mine needed no coding, but occasionally throws a 'brake light bulb failure' message, maybe once a fortnight. But I've sorted that through coding.

Replicating what the light look like is hard to do in a photo, these are the best I got....With a proper DSLR and playing with the exposure/focus settings you might get better pictures, but I couldn't be bothered with the effort

i'll get my DSLR out later and try.

Did you do a water test? my boot ones both leaked at first. Hopfully sorted now with a little adjustment.

Like it. Looks very nice!

I got my local garage to fit mine, they did mention the fit initially wasn't perfect. They have been on the car for the last 4 months, not noticed any problems with water leak.

Only issue is the 'bulb failure' message that occasionally comes up, but I've sorted that now by disabling the bulb checks through coding.

These look great how much and have you got a link?

Have you got a guide on how to do this?

[AWSAWS]

Where's best to buy replicas? What price are we looking at?

Thanks

I'm liking the fresher look for sure. Better than the lamin-x for me.

[glachhman2]

Looks good, did you consider blacklines at any point?

no, to me, tinted lens are late 90's. The one colour just looks modern. both look good, just prefer later style.

I've got some pictures i'll add tonight. It's very easy and costs £15

[clart]

interested in the tray fix too

[Kali]

I just done the tray mod myself. Never realised how easy it is to remove the old junk phone holder.
I'm loving the rear lights although don't like the fact that they don't fit straight. Think Ill go OEM myself.

I prefer the laminx to the aftermarket tails you have, would love to do this to mine but is there any way to match the red, the laminx looks slightly faded/off compared to the rest.

they're better now, OEM is what i did think about, but didn't want a new boot lid etc.
