UPDATE:
My car received the latest software update from the dealer. Lights needed to be recoded again, everything works without errors like before, but welcome lights still don't work properly. So again I just turned them off in iDrive. |

Thanks for the update. Were previous issues rear light left/right out for example?

There was a rumour that after March update the welcome lights start working, but this is not the case. Hence my update to this post. |

So my set up and coding is just like euro. As long as welcome lights are off no issue what so ever.

Has anyone coded these lights themselves and if so what equipment/ software do you use? I just installed the lights I have a US spec car and fancy doing the coding myself.

Edit: Wondering if we can reduce welcome light "on" time, perhaps 3 seconds or something.... Chris

That could work, however, I think 10 secs is the lowest limit. Or you could just use the pathway lights.

Just installed mine as well. Seemed like a lot at first lol but was pretty straightforward… def a more aggressive look. I'm working with a guy to code them myself soon. Will update afterwards.

After several failed attempts, I ended up using the contact in your instructions. No luck with welcome lights, but it’s really not a big deal, however, at this point I’m not sure if BMW is going to make retrofit official for USA

Ordered my kit from dealer. Supposed to be here in 10-12 days. Here we go. Their kit didn't include the last two items on the OPs list of items but maybe they just aren't listed?! Idk.

I literally just pulled the trigger on US lights for US Car and then reached out to Vic. He said if I can source Euro Lights for US Car they will work fine and won't have any welcome light issues.
I can't seem to find a source for the Euro tails and I bet they are a lot more money, but would not mind looking into it. I can live without welcome lights, I rarely drive the car at night and the walkway FOB will be fine when I do. I am sure my US kit isn't going to ship today, so would not mind looking into the Euro kit. Anyone have a clue on either who has a Euro kit or what the part numbers are?

Thank you. Comparable in price. Is the install and re-pinning similar to the USA lights in the DIY job aid here? I am having my shop do the work and they are going off of Euro's tutorial. Anything different with the Euro spec on a USA car? Did the kit come everything needed?

Does anyone know anything about this wire that needs to be run for the Euro lights? Where, to, etc.? I can't find anything.
