Thats what I thought too, assumed Black Friday was an American sales weekend only

I also bought the connectors from getbmwparts and ordered the Vgate icar 2 wifi OBDII to code the lights with the bimmercode app since I have a Mac book and don't want to download bootcamp to run esys

I haven't installed mine yet but hopefully this weekend.


Hey I'm just curious did Schmiedmann send you another email when your order got shipped or do you know anyway to check order status ? its been 5 days for me and haven't heard anything from them

Schmiedmann does send you another email with tracking information once shipped. I recalled it was a good 7~10 calendar days before my order shipped. I see their website notates their are delays due to increased volumes for BF/CM. But once shipped, it's DHL they were fast 2~3 days door-to-door including customs clearance. Email odense@schmiedmann.com and they'll respond pretty quickly.

I need to get a pair of these, the pre LCI ones are almost as hideous as the OEM wheels and look like something off an Accord.

Is there plenty of room to leave the original connector dangling as suggested in the DIY? Just tape it somewhere?

You could use electrical tape and just strap it on the original cable. I removed the original harness on mines and just taped up the live tips of the two extra wires.

After I saw how great the LCIs looked, I knew I was never going to reverse it.

The two wires are ground cables anyway, nothing that could short the fuses.

Just got around to doing this. In regards to 3063 LceLampMapping2, I wasn't able to find 13.7V - see pic. I used 13.8 and it seemed to be fine. Anyone else have this issue? Do we have to enter a custom number?

You have to 'custom' the number "0X89" which is equivalent to 13.7v, into those parameters, as it's not listed as an option, as you stated.. I am not certain if using a higher voltage, however little, would affect anything significant.

How do they look? I find that the taillight light itself is brighter than the Pre-LCI, ever though they're both are LEDs - or I'm not sure if it's all in my mind.. What's your opinion?

Thanks. They look great! I didn't notice anything unusually bright with mine, I think you should be fine!

I set my 3063 LceLampMapping2 to 13.5v, there was no option for custom in esys from what I could tell and I figured slightly less voltage is probably better than too much at 13.8
