I assume That's cuz you have euro lights. Not the question at hand here as the welcome lights don't work for US lights.

I just ordered a set of US lights from MPower. Can't wait to install them. I had a dealer loaner LCI 5 series recently and fell in love with these. Thanks for all the info on here euro* and others. I'll post up some pics and such when I'm finished.

Just curious, why did you go with the US lights and not the Euros where the welcome lights work?

Just ordered a set from Mpower. NA spec. What is the easiest process for coding? I have BimmerCode. Possible to do it through the app?

No you need coding, BimmerCode doesn't support it

I highly recommend using Vic for coding.

I just don't care for the amber portion of the euro lights. I prefer the turn signal that comes with the NA lights and them being all red. I turned off my welcome lights two weeks ago to see if I cared about them and I didn't.

Understood, plus you don't need to run the 5th wire with the NA lights. Can't say I have even looked at the amber blinker on mine, but I do love the look of the new lights when they light up to welcome me. Money well spent. I think I'd choose this upgrade over the Dinan tune I did if I had to choose.

After sitting behind another 5 at a stop light I've come to the conclusion that I have to update my tail lights. What is the consensus on euro amber signals and needing the wire ran for the inner lights on the trunk? Is the below coding previously mentioned only for US lights or is there even a difference coding wise? I'm at the point that I'll even do the remote coding, bonus if I can avoid having to run a wire to the front of the car.



1) Update software to 03-2021
2) Add HELC to HO-WORT
3) Code BDC module
4) Make some changes manually (bimmercode can do this too):

BL_L_CCM: ccm_346 [01 5A]
BL_L_IS_LED: nicht_aktiv, default [00]
BL_L_MIN_PWM: 5% [05]
BL_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv [00]
BL_R_CCM: ccm_345 [01 59]
BL_R_IS_LED: nicht_aktiv, default [00]
BL_R_MIN_PWM: 5% [05]
BL_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv [00]

I am not sure you are going to get a consensus, but I do think that people who did the US lights early before the Euro's were discovered as an option, would probably go Euro for the welcome light issue. The 5th wire isn't a big deal and even easier if you just jump that inner light pin to the same pin on the outer. This way you stay completely in the trunk. I had mine run from the BDC, but jumping produces the same result.

I think the coding might be slightly different. Something has to tell that 5th wire what to do. The other pin locations are the same for both US and Euro lights. If it is of any help, Vic (the coder) told me to cancel my US light order and order the Euro's. Glad I did. I think the amber blinker is kind of cool too, although I haven't studied it. It only lights up amber, the case is red.

I know what you mean about seeing them on the road. It friggin haunted me until I pulled the trigger. The newer lights on all the new bimmers are sexy and the old one's look like big red blobs once you have a liking for the LCI's. I mean, look at this:

Thanks for the referral. You guys are the best. But I have to say, you guys are keeping me more busy than I thought I would be. I had 10 sets in stock a few days ago. I'm down to 2 sets. If you want a set, go ahead and make the order. I'm expecting another batch of 10+ in the next week or so. I have both NA and Euro spec. However, I'm starting to see most people going with Euro Spec nowadays.

Reach out to Vic, he has all details about exact wiring and has done tons of these. His prices are worth it

+1 on Vic. I know you want to do your own coding but he is worth it. I sent you some docs on wiring.

Hi Abdul,

Interesting that you have 10+ sets per week.

This has been long enough, As per my email to you today, I have been waiting 47 days for even a tracking number for my order. I paid for my items back on 16th August. Order number 11829

Copy of email sent to you just now

Hello Abdul,

It has now been 47 days from the original order, no tracking number details have been received as per your last email.

Can you please provide an update on this ? If no reply I will need to do a chargeback on my credit card as no receipt of tracking details or the item in over a month is not good service

Regards,
Samuel

Hi there,

Samuel, your shipment was shipped directly from Europe long time ago. Didn't you get the tracking number? You don't have the shipment? That's crazy!!! I spoke to you and I though that was over with! FORGIVE ME, my brother. I had no idea until now. Please text me your number and I'll call you. I chose to ship your shipment directly from Europe since that would've been quicker and cheaper for you shipping wise.

However, I'm starting to see most people going with Euro Spec nowadays.

Punch in the following code at checkout.

I'll leave it active for a week.
Hi Abdul,

Interesting that you have 10+ sets per week.

This has been long enough, As per my email to you today, I have been waiting 47 days for even a tracking number for my order. I paid for my items back on 16th August. Order number 11829

Copy of email sent to you just now

Hello Abdul,

It has now been 47 days from the original order, no tracking number details have been received as per your last email.

Can you please provide an update on this ? If no reply I will need to do a chargeback on my credit card as no receipt of tracking details or the item in over a month is not good service

Regards,
Samuel

Evening Abdul,

No, I would not be posting if I had received what I had ordered. I am unsure what your shipping process is but it needs to be revised.

Can you please supply/post the tracking number which will show the dates posted compared to the order date etc. Its near midnight(11:25pm) here in Perth Australia and on my phone in bed.

I do understand that COVID19 is causing some delays but I get near daily deliveries from both the USA and Europe and the delivery time is very quick(in fact, its quicker to ship from the USA/UK than within Australia at the moment!).

Regards
Samuel
