I've just finished installing mine on my M2, they are really nice, makes the pre lci ones so antiquated. It's a good 2 hour job, if anyone is sensitive about paint marks as I am, make sure you mask up really well, as the lights are awkward to remove without touching the body work.

So just to confirm, The signals flash amber but the lens is red? Or is the lens amber and its just hard to tell from the pics?

Could you please take a picture of how the LED reverse lights look? Thanks!

they're BRIGHT as shit and look great. very white as well, no hint of any yellow at all. 100% worth doing. guaranteed no one will have any problem knowing your car is in reverse. it literally hurts to look directly at them.

The P/Ns for USA market F22 LCI rear lights are here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=63_1907

From there check with any dealers for pricing/availability. Maybe contact
Sun Motor Cars BMW since they typically has the best pricing for US OEM parts?

I purchased the European LCI units (I prefer the amber turn signals) from Schmiedmann.com for ~$500 shipped but that was ~2 months ago.

It'll be interesting to see how the US LCI units cost.

They used DHL so it was pretty fast. 3-4 days from Denmark to Germany to west coast USA door-to-door. However, it took 4~5 days to get them from their BMW distributor. So 2 weeks end-to-end?

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

...is 61-13-2-359-993 the correct part number for the connector?

Schmiedmann's web site does not have that part number, if you add 3 to the end of the number in the search, you get "no results found"

Thanks

Looks ok for me. Enter it just like the first post; without hyphens.

Really? They match the rest of the blinkers on the car. I personally hate red indicators. Too easy to mistake them for brake lights or DRL's. Yellow looks better and is safer, but to each their own i suppose.

Completely agree... at least with the euro version the lens is still red and it only appears amber when lit up. I really like it as well! Still really happy with how they look on my car.

That was exceptional BF pricing through them! I'm quite surprised to see some of our European and Canadian vendors participate in BF sales.
