I know you want to go OEM, but you can easily grab a spool of 22 gauge wire at home depot in whatever color you choose and if you wanted, you could get two different colors, one for the left light and one for the right.

Update:
A few of you have PM'ed me about our next availability. I'm so sorry, but I do not have any lights in stock at the moment. You can place an order on the website to reserve a set for yourself. Most of the time, the lights are sold before they arrive at my doorstep. Im going to get this shipment of 10 euro lights and 7 NA lights on the 2-4th of November. So approximately a week from now. On a side note, out kit comes with every part you need for the retrofit. One other vendor is selling the kit but without 2 of the drip rails. So make sure whichever kit you buy, it has 4 lights and 4 rails. Link for the Euro Spec https://mpowermotorsports.org/produc...-g30-5-series/ Link for the NA spec https://mpowermotorsports.org/produc...c-genuine-bmw/ Promo code: bimmerpost Abdul |

Perhaps the pre-LCI drip rails will install for the upper, but if you look closely they don’t follow the indent in the LCI tail light so you have a drip rail extending out between the outer and inner portions of the tail light. Stock drip rail will probably still do what it’s designed to do, but it won’t look right to anyone who notices.

I installed us spec lights on my canadian 550 and after vic coded it my lights don't work properly whenever my light switch is in auto the turn signals blink fast and the outer lights don't light up but whenever it's night in auto everything works fine in day for it to work I have to move the switch to the on position for my blinkers to work. I talked to vic and even he is confused so I'm not sure what to do is it fixable?

Not looking to start a debate over this. Just as someone who did the install hisself it was just something I noticed. Again BMW does not provide them for their original retrofit kit for a reason….I trust BMW knows what fits their cars. And just to reiterate I installed them haha.

The second is the left stock drip rail on the LCI tail light. The rubber edge is exposed and the plastic of the drip rail is over the plastic of the tail light. It will still do its job, it’s just not quite the right fit. Excuse the confusing upload of the photos. Bimmerpost wants to put the iPhotos sideways, sorry. The bottom photo is the right LCI tail light with the LCI drip rail and the proper fit of the two. I have too much time on my hands today and this was a fun rebuttal! |

After reading through this thread a few times I just could not resist going with the Euro LCI lights for my car so I placed an order with Abdul.
Joe-BMW33 was very helpful in sending over instructions and I wanted to go with the moving the 5th wire in the light connector and the BDC instead of jumping the pins in the trunk. There was no way I was running 2 wires from the BDC to the trunk. I removed the trunk lid liner today to find out that I only have the 4 wires in the connector so there went that idea. While I am not completely opposed to splicing from one wire to another pin I figured a better way to do it would be to make up a little plug-and-play module without any splicing of the car wiring. Does anyone know the part number for the MQS socket contact? I am thinking it is 61131393724 or 61136931880 but not positive which one is correct. This may or may not help |

Jumping: You jump from empty pin 4 on the inner to pin 1 on the outer which is occupied, you need to splice these on the outer and keep inserted into Pin 1. Run from BDC: from BDC to Pin 4 inner If you have fog light wires (there will be 5 wires): Move the fog from pin 1 to pin 4 and then move appropriately at the BDC (described a few posts up). https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=327 The likelihood of you having a fog light wire is low. So you will likely be running new wires from the BDC or jumping.

I took the trunk apart again to take a close look at the connectors and they were much smaller than I thought. The pins are not difficult to remove from the connector with the correct tools and I decided after taking close-up pictures that the likely part numbers are 61131393723 (male) 61131383776 (female). I ordered 100 sets from AliExpress and hopefully they will not take too long to arrive.

For those re-pinning, this is how the Euro inner tail connectors should look when done. The black wire in pin 4 is the new wire added from the BDC. Black on both sides. The pin 1 wires black/yellow and black/white are rear fog wires. Most US cars won't have these. So all wiring coloring is BMW spec except the black wires added from the BDC.
Hope this helps. The pic in hand is left, connected is right.
