I think US cars having the wire is more the exception than the rule. Glad it all worked out for you. They are very nice lights.

I know someone with a 2017 540 that had 5 wires, I bet it is tied to build date. My build date is December 2017.

No worries! I picked up on that. This is an M5 group after all. Us G30 folks are crashing.

I'm in the process of doing this, Im stuck on the wiring rearranging them. Following the instruction on Euro spec do you start rearranging the wiring from left to right or right to left.
I didnt also find any MQS socket around my area so what i did is cut from left over apple carplay wires and soldered them to a speaker wire from both ends, my question is soldering good and safe for this situation?

As for the connectors. You will see a start and end number on the connector(s) itself when you disconnect it. |

Here is my left inner after repinning for Euro spec. Pin 4 is generic wire added from the BDC. All others are BMW spec and placement for Euro tails. (And pretty much US too without the fog in pin 1 and pin 4 from the BDC.

It's hard to tell the colors, but it looks a lot like mine.

If you're on the fence about these lights, grab them now. We have them in stock. Our Black Friday sales have started and we have temporarily lowered the prices. Grab a set while it lasts. Our set comes with 4 lights and all 4 trims.
