DIY: LCI Tailights
The taillights are a direct fit in place of the pre-LCI ones but need a 6-pin connector instead of the 8-pin connector. The old connector had 3-pins for the 3 brake light bulbs while the new one only needs one. While some people have opted to solder the 3 brake light wires together and connect them using a single pin. I opted to only use one of the pins, specifically the inner brake light pin since that is the one used for the brake force display function. The other two pins remain in the old connector and is left dangling next to the new connector in case the installation needs to be reversed for whatever reason. Parts List:

Is there any risk in turning the ignition on with the LCI lights connected but before coding? Wondering if I'm better disconnecting, coding, connecting?
I'm mainly concerned as I have rear DRL coded so they will come on as soon as you unlock the car/turn on the ignition. Great guide btw, super pleased you've documented it and made it (look!) so easy! |

Lights look fabulous! Great post - thank you!
Can you advise if all lamps are LED please? I read in the LCi technical training notes that the reversing lamps were still incandescent. Many thanks Wiggy |

Yes, that's correct. Only the reversing lights are incandescent and the rest are LED. The bulb used isn't the same as the old ones so I wasn't able to use my old LED bulb. I believe the new bulb is a W21W bulb.

I wonder why they stayed with incandescent when LED revers lights are super bright and a lot of brands are using them even on low level tiers.

I did it! These instructions are spot on!
Some notes for US owners... the turn signals are AMBER on the version you get from the EU... now for me I actually prefer it since these are Euro spec. Also, as mentioned earlier the reverse light is incandescent... so I swapped it over to one I found on Amazon and added the additional coding required for the LED Link to LED bulb (it IS polarity specific... so if it doesn't work flip it around): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Additional coding for Reverse light LED: REM 3061 RFS_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv REM 3061 RFS_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv REM 3061 RFS_L_IS_LED /aktiv REM 3061 RFS_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv REM 3061 RFS_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv REM 3061 RFS_R_IS_LED /aktiv |

Man! I liked my lights now since they have that deep red tint, does it keep that same black lines look in slightly dimmer than direct sunlight? The pictures are hard to judge haha
