The LCI is a refresh that's introduced by BMW, so I don't know why you'd need to buy replicas.

At any rate, most vendors on this forum sell LCI taillight retrofit kits. Here's an example:

I've done this mod and love it. GLHF.

Why replicas?
Its looks like the installation will be easier, no need to code them, just plug n´ play, better price i guess, LED Facelift to e46 priced was around 1500-2500 dollars for one kit who was plug n´play. And smoked taillights was nicer that OEM, if you ask me. OEM smoked was not available, So why not?

If i buy retrokit OEM where can i code them, BMW dealer, i live in sweden by the way.

Thanks for answering.

The dealer may code them for you but I've read where a lot here in the US wont, not sure about Sweden... Otherwise you'd Just need to find a shop that can code with Autologic.

So we are a few Swedes here after all lol

I bought them of this site http://salesafter.eu/

Tryed the ebay once you linked too but they dont answer mails or mess on Ebay so wont buy from them.
