Euro E90 LCI Tails

RJD M3 · 07-11-2009, 06:46 AM

I tried searching and only found a couple of posts for pre-LCI cars, but has anyone tried/or is able to source the side portions that have the amber turn signals like in Germany?

This guy is from Paris, and it looks like red tails:

Do they blink amber?

bavarian19 · 07-11-2009, 02:56 PM

But if you check out this video around 1:16, the blinker seems to be amber in the euro tails:

I think that would be ideal. Look red, blink amber.

RJD M3 · 07-11-2009, 03:22 PM

yes, its perfect. Anyone else from Europe that could hook it up, please PM me!

My Jetta does that!

mPlasticDesign · 07-12-2009, 12:04 AM

? What color do the US tails blink? I have 08 blacklines so not familiar with this...

magmd · 07-12-2009, 12:37 AM

I have them. I think they were totally worth it. They look exactly like your stock lights, but the LEDs blink yellow when you activate the turn signals. Are you willing to pay $399 + shipping for just the outer portion pair (right+left)?

If so...I can point you in the right direction.

RJD M3 · 07-12-2009, 09:15 AM

I'm in! Are they the OEM ones?

RJD M3 · 07-12-2009, 09:22 AM

The US OEM ones blink red btw.

Yep...OEM, imported from germany. Looks exactly like US stocks, just different color LED bulbs.

Sent you a PM.

AMOCHOSTO · 07-12-2009, 10:00 PM

I've been intriged by this post, couldn't you just order the yellow light bulb?

I dunno...that is for E92.

E90 LCI lights have a cluster panel of LED's, not bulbs. So, you can't just replace them.

RJD M3 · 07-13-2009, 07:41 AM

I wonder if there would be a way just to replace the panel and not the whole light. If you look at RealOEM.com, there are multiple parts to the light, and it looks like it may be possible to do it. Now only if you could order that piece...

Right, forgot about the model change. Blah!

Thanks

It's worth a try.

I think you would have to try and order directly from someone in europe that carries that part. I don't know how realistically it is to find just those panels. If you look at RealOEM...it also suggests you could easily swap out the orange reflector in the Pre-LCI xenon headlights. But that turned out to be a FAIL.

RJD M3 · 07-13-2009, 12:23 PM

ya, probably. There is an excellent chance that they make the unit as one piece and you can't order it any other way.

tomcar · 07-14-2009, 12:07 AM

I might be interested, was the swap straight forward, the fact that they are LED, what did you have to do to make them work without any error warnings?
Btw, they look bada$$.

If you are LCI, then straight swap with your stocks.

If you are pre-LCI, the lights work pefectly. You just get an error warning due to the LEDs being in the place where your car is expecting bulbs. The errors were cleared with multiple resistors. So now its perfect.

(you do also need to get a LCI trunk to allow for the swap to work.)
