Just had my LCi rear lights fitted.

Thought id do first little mod on my June 19 M5 Comp, as felt the oem pre LCI lights looked but dated, the new ones look great on dark cars as they have the dark accent edges, the 3D look freshens the whole car up, pics not great, but gives you an idea.

Agree Looks great on SG. Although I feel this would have been a great opportunity to detail the process for others.

sorry i didnt put details, i didnt do the fit, we have a great Polish guy over here in uk that specialises in BMW coding and retrofit, cost around £1000 - 1100. Supplied and fitted.

He has to strip out few bits of interior trim to even just fit the lights on these f90s, then he had to run some additional wiring from front to back of car, and do lot of coding to make active and stop some brake light faults coming on. Think thats why not many people had this done yet, he’s one of the few doing it? Im sure you guys have someone out there that could do the job. Oh also the trays that sit above the lights inside boot lid need to be new ones too, over here in uk they are hard to get hold of, bmw seem slow in producing them.
