Installsplus wroteI think batch issue? Mine is fine. But if not from them then who else? Btw there are two shops on aliexpress for aokeding headlightsGuys, please stay away from Aokeding Send me a DM on insta @ installsplusflooring and I will show you how much water came out of my tail lights today. Do not buy from these guys. I’m trying to save you guys the aggravati
Mine with the silicone has been condensation free so far with tons of rain and pressure washing. I only siliconed the outer larger lights. The inner lights don't seem to require it since the back is wide open anyway.
on the same note I still have no issues with mine, no sync or moister to report
I will keep my eyes open for sure, but its been couple of months now...
casual run to IKEA this morning (don't pay attention to "missing" tow hook cover
):2019-2022 or 2023-Now
I have a 2023 X5MC (pre-LCI) which has the same older style lights as the 2019-2022 so was curious if BMW changed something with the tail lights between 2022 and 2023. The 2023-Now option makes me think that's intended for an LCI replacement so maybe their stated years are wrong?
TheGremloc wroteI would check with the store, but from my understanding you need 2019-2022 pre-lci optionI was looking at the AKD site and there appears to be 2 options to choose from so I'm a bit confused.

readyeddie wroteOEM will require additional adapter from what I heard.Trying to go OEM route. Would it still be plug and play?
at least now it should be available, I assume since I saw this being mentioned and done few times (unfortunately I don't have details as I never research it, mine working just fine for me)

Two things I want to accomplish by going for MY2023:
1. Avoid subscription bs as much as possible.
2. Keep the old M Package Front Appearance.

lucreative wrotesorry to hear about all these issues, what a nightmare!I've waited long enough for Aokeding Official store on Aliexpress to resolve the issues with my lights. They were going to send me a new resistor for the sync issues with my light. Have NOT received them yet and it's been over 3 weeks. They also said they were going to replace my right tail light...AFTER they resolve the sync issue. So they haven't even sent out the replacement, even though I have proof that they said they were going to send out a replacement. Why do I need to wait to solve sync issue first? Then just a couple days ago I had an error code on my dashboard regarding my rear tail lights. I may have gotten a bad batch as with installsplus, but I think reliability for the future is going to be an issue for ALL Aokeding lights eventually. I opened up a dispute on AliExpress for receving defective product and failure to receive replacements, and the Aokeding Official store responded, in Chinese, that "Fogging is to be expected in these lights" with pictures of their manuals...etc. They refused to do anything or any partial refund. AliExpress took over the resolution by sending me a free return label to ship these lights back, which I am very tempted to do. I just don't trust the Aokeding Official store to process my return correctly or timely. Especially with all the shady stuff they mentioned about selling their AliExpress coupons, and writing positive reviews, etc. Don't mess with this company and just wait for a better version to come out.
at this point since you already having issues I would pursue looking for OEM conversion, which seems to be popping up!
mine seems to be working just fine (knocking on wood) but something to keep my eyes on.
lucreative wroteDefinitely a bad batch and horrible customer service. Please guys do not buy from this company. I’ve been going back-and-forth for 3 months. They sent me a right side tail light, which is defective and Doesn’t work at all. Both tail lights have excessive water and they’re saying fog is fine. Meanwhile, I sent them a video of water pouring out of my tail lights and they said it normal. These guys are fucking idiots. Took the lights out, realized they’re leaking from the connection. I sealed around it hoping for the water to dry up on its own. Been using a heat gun for a few days now but it’s not getting better if it doesn’t clear up on it own with the sun I’m going back to original tail lights and throwing these in the garbage, it’s a shame $1200 Canadian down the drain.I've waited long enough for Aokeding Official store on Aliexpress to resolve the issues with my lights.

nicodep wroteHow did you make out with these connectors? They’re sending me the exact same ones.Hi, I received corrective cables for the interior lights from AKD this morning. This should resolve the ignition synchronization problems.
...to be tested soon !
Does anyone have experience using their products? Are they any good?
"No, not possible with original lights. There are conversion kits on the secondary market, but we are not going to install them."
I have the feeling that they have no experience with this yet. Shouldn't you be able to order the original OEM lights and install them via an extra adapter as an official BMW dealer?
