Two, it's one thing for a dealer to perform work on installing an aftermarket part like a cat exhaust, it's another asking them to swap out different model year OEM parts. Why would they want to swap out a non spec'd part, electronically code the module, and risk liability on a sensitive safety part such as a tailight? I would think no US BMW dealer would risk such work.
I love ambers. These look red but illuminate amber, correct? My 18 already has the new style lights so I imagine these are just plug and play for me.
