great find, I follow Lukas for years and somehow I missed his IG post about this upgrade!

I ordered a set from AOKEDING Official Store back in August but as I mentioned before they couldn't deliver.

I will probably try to contact them again and see if something has been changed but maybe little closer to the spring time.

still subscribed :thumbsup:
I should be receiving mine by the end of February as soon as I do, I will post videos and pics. Super excited for this mod.

I actually ordered it on January 31 spoke to the vendor and he said he was going to send me a tracking number so hoping that it’s shipped. Keep you posted.

well after our conversation I checked with the seller and they told me they have them in stock and ready to ship.

with price being even lower vs. what I remember back last year I ordered a pair for $750 minus some discounts I had and some 4 days later it was at my door steps (go figure)

Looks great! I think these tail lights make the vehicle wider (good thing).

What exhaust tips are those? Can you share a link and some details?

I appreciate it :thumbsup:
with these car looks a bit fresher for sure
I’m not always going for new but I really liked LCI tail lights and want them for a while, can’t say that I’m a big fun of LCI headlights though but this is just my opinion.

as far as tips goes they are from German company Cargraphic, I’m not sure if they still sale their products on line, haven’t seen them lately but in all honesty I wouldn’t buy these again as they are very overpriced and not fitting as well as advertised, We made them work but with some back and forth.
If I would look for tips now I would just buy tips on AliExpress and get them fitted in the shop!

Hope this helps!

Looks great.

Which seller was it? Think if we can ask for bimmerpost discount or same price as yours?

How the signal turns out? Was the installation difficult?

Thanks

Looks amazing I should be getting mine this week. How long did it take to install them?

this is the seller:

the price is even lower now, $744, you can try for bp discount, doesn't hurt to ask

overall installation was easy except passenger side tail light (body) I couldn't find much info but after playing with it for several hours I found the way to do it. Let me know if you going to install and I'll got into details.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. When possible would love to see a video of these lights in action. Are these comparable to OEMs in function, brightness and quality?

I’ll add some vids little later, as far as functionality and brightness I’d say the same if not a little brighter

If you can share how you removed the passenger side body tail light that would be great. Looks like it’s pretty difficult and you have to go through the plastic hook with an extension from the only video posted on utube. Getting prepared with the right tools before it’s delivered. Thank you !!

do yourself, your hands and your time huge favour and remove this plate completely (honestly this is the only way!)

Thanks for your post.
I have 2 questions. How long have you had those lights installed in your car, and I'm interested in knowing if you had to code anything or if it was a plug and play installation?
I assume that if you had any problems, you would have already reported them on this forum.

you are welcome!

I installed tail lights yesterday so not for long but I see no issues as of yet, as you are I’m pretty sure if something would be wrong I would know about it by now, I drove roughly 30 miles since.

The install is plug and play, no coding required, just follow my installation advice above and u’ll be done within 1-2hrs with coffe break :D
