Comparison of Euro LCI vs. US LCI Tails

tlp · 06-12-2011, 07:06 PM

I installed the Euro LCI taillights on my car this weekend. The photos are lousy and don't depict the color intensity. The differences are much more dramatic in person.

The left side is EURO (Amber) and the Right side is US (Red) Spec.

js2000 · 06-12-2011, 07:36 PM

LCI tail light is definitely worth the $600 price tag.........

i dont know about the $800 price tag for the Euro LCI tail light though

KGB7 · 06-12-2011, 08:55 PM

I love yellow turn signals. Good choice dude.

Nice, since you're already MY11 - no coding was necessary.

circlek · 06-12-2011, 10:59 PM

Looking very Euro now, very nice

GOLFFRR · 06-12-2011, 11:01 PM

awesome! def can tell the difference. which one did you like better?

Exclusivs · 06-12-2011, 11:02 PM

LCI tails make such a dramatic difference to the rear end of the car at night! I love them! Will def be one of the first mod's I do to my M once I get it (this week!

)

To Euro...Or not to Euro...

The Euro's are staying

They almost defy logic in person. You naturally expect them to flash red or whitish just based on the exterior color of the plastic. The amber is very obvious and deep with the naked eye.

GOLFFRR · 06-12-2011, 11:22 PM

Awesome! hopefully i get to see these in person sometime soon.

aus · 06-12-2011, 11:23 PM

Looks good. Congratss.

TTG · 06-13-2011, 12:22 AM

Very nice.... I have a set of these waiting for me in Europe. Hopefully, I will make it there in Aug to bring them back. They are almost half the price for a set over there!

e1000 · 06-13-2011, 03:02 AM

Nice! I've got euro tails on mine too. Proper turn signals should be amber.

bavarian19 · 06-13-2011, 05:31 AM

nice!

I like the Euro tails!

DiavelM3 · 06-13-2011, 09:20 AM

I'm really liking the Euro versions a little better!

WCH · 06-13-2011, 10:50 AM

I also have Euro tail lights - they are awesome and clearly different.

FVM3 · 06-13-2011, 11:18 AM

get used to the red one

Edward · 06-13-2011, 03:27 PM

Hate the red ones on my car. But then I keep asking myself, why change them if I will rarely see them blink......

They look great in amber. Always liked amber against space grey too.

0-60Motorsports · 07-20-2011, 05:17 AM

I think I prefer our Euro look with the amber indicators. They look sharper.

Falcon Keeper · 07-20-2011, 05:28 AM

Who sells these!?

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
