all LED taillight bulbs
I went and upgraded every single bulb (even the reverse fog/aka secondary brake) in my preLCI taillights. Love em, but now a year later I put in 2020 M2 Euro LCI tails. Even the reverse bulbs are different in those, so now these are all for sale. All as a package, for ALL your tail bulbs: SIX 1156 red (brake-3 per side) TWO 1156 amber (turn-1 per side) TWO 1156 white (reverse-1 per side) TWO H21W red (fog/secondary brake-1 per side) All the 1156 bulbs are the top shit you can get from Amazon: SiriusLED and Oxilam. The H21W's are IJMTOY. $60 shipped UPS If you need preLCI tails or dont want to take yours apart to install all these bulbs, I can sell you my preLCI tails with these all already installed. Then its just 2 bolts and a wire unplug to install. PM me. |

2017 M240
They plug into the stock bulb location. I coded all tail bulbs to "LED" when I installed, so never had a CE light had them flash. I know at least some of the bulbs are canbus (no CE light) but LEDs will flash without coding, so you'd need to code to install these. Here is my video comparing the LED bulbs in the 2017 tailight (right) with 2020 M2 euro tailights (left) https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show...&postcount=111 |

So I'll paste it here: Quote:
Now the not fun part. All the bulbs are in a sealed waterproof area with the electronics. The taillight is basically two plastic shells held together with 8 to 10 pop tabs. Once these pop tabs have been opened, they are a lot easier to pop again in the future. If they have never been opened since your car was new (you never had a bulb changed on that side), they're a real whore to get open. Years of not moving and dirt buildup makes them not want to release if they've been undisturbed a long time. The issue is each corner of the "shell" needs 2 or 3 pop tabs off simultaneously before the whole corner comes loose. Open one pop tab, and it will pop back in when you go to the next one. I use 4 tiny screwdrivers, one to push the tab in, a second one to pull the tab away while the first holds it open. Then the third and fourth go on either side of the tab on the shell to hold it open a few mm so the tab doesnt snap closed again when you move on to the next one. Once all the tabs are not clicked shut, the shell comes off and all the bulbs are exposed and easy to swap. This probably all makes no sense, the first time you do it you will be cursing, then come back and read this again and it will all make sense. Once you've done it once, the tabs are now loose from their years of dirt and not moving and you know what you'd doing and its easy. I first tried selling the taillights I have with the LED bulbs already installed figuring someone would want to avoid all that, but nobody took me up on it. If you're mechanically inclined and have patience its easy, just a pain the first time. I figured someone not mechanically inclined would buy everything already installed to avoid the hassle. I moved on to euro amber 2020 M2 blackline taillights. |

Yeah I put the link to them on ebay, after a week they sold.
I'd ask a moderator whats up with your PMs. I think there was a rule you cant PM before a certain number of posts and your profile says you have 3, thats probably it. |
