US/CAD spec tail lights

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
Selling the tail lights of my 2020 M50i as I switched them to the European version (taking the car to Germany).
They are flawless, nothing broken, all connectors clean and work well.

Asking $500 CAD. Pickup in the Montreal area.

Head lights (Laser) will follow next week.

I think you need to have the European version of the tail lights. But even so I still got the indicators in red. Apparently it needs coding to change it.

Based on this, I really wonder if coding only would be enough to get amber turning signals *without* changing the tail light parts… 🤔

Looking at the imprint of the lights the only difference I see is that the ECE (European version) has seprate ligths for turn and stop vs. the SAE (US) one.

This guy managed it without changing the lights on an X4. But coding is still needed.

It may be easier to sell individually, and possibly on ebay. I have done that previously with other cars after making swaps. That said, if you do that, I would like your price on the inner driver-side light. The once that goes on the tailgate.
