Darker tinted lights from BMW that aren't out yet. BMW released Black Lines for the pre-LCI E90 that were very popular before the LCI happened in MY09.
As for the LCI E92 Black Lines, go here and type "lights" into the search field: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/acc...er/finder.html I'm not sure if the pictured taillights are actually the Black Lines or not, but I should have more information regarding their availability this week.

The harnesses simply adapt the old style plug to the new style in a Plug and Play fashion - with no cutting/splicing or resistors (dangerous) needed.

Dark line rear lights* Slightly darkened and framed in fine grey. They make the rear end of the BMW 3 Series particularly striking. Available for certain models only. For 3 Series Coupé and Convertible models from 03/10 onwards. Installation duration 30 min Available for 3 Series Coupé from 09/06, 3 Series Convertible from 03/07 * Your local BMW Service Partner will be pleased to inform you about the price and availability of this product. This is good news for those not local, meaning that BMW will likely have access to retrofit coding soon.

Good. I didn't want to be the first in saying I couldn't see any little difference.

Error lights? I don't remember you guys mentioning that either. I've seen plenty of references and the video about the bulb check, but it does seem that the error lights should have been the biggest issue.
It seems to me you guys tried to bury that info and weren't straightforward about it. It wasn't lying, but definitely not the whole truth. Btw. Here's the thread you guys started in the M3 forum http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=382162 Nowhere does it mention error lights.

I'm sure no one is trying to mislead anybody here. There have been a number of threads about retrofitting lights on pre-LCI E90 and E92 M3s during the past year on this forum, and error codes are always an issue that people prominently mention. For my part, this knowledge is assumed, and I'm pretty sure Tom thought the same for everyone else when posting the original thread.

ALL vehicles that have retrofitted lamps installed need coding to expect a 100% perfectly working system - I cannot be any clearer on this, this is a route most BMW electronics will be going. As per the error messages, we reported this on e90Post back on 5/5: Overview: At this time, we have performed logging sessions on the following models: 2008 M3, iDrive equipped (eas project M3) Notes: No errors, slight 1-2 second flickering upon ignition. Build Date: 2/2008 2009 M3, iDrive equipped (reviewed above) Build Date: 8/2009 Notes: Left brake lamp malfunction message, rapid turn signal operation, slight flickering upon ignition. 2010 M3, iDrive equipped (installed, not photo-documented) Build Date: 10/2009 Notes: Numerous lamp malfunction messages only upon brake pedal/reverse gear combo application - messages autoclear when reverse is disengaged. We go over the error messages discovered in this post: link: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=151 I'm sorry it wasn't in M3post, there is a very gray area on what sponsors are permitted to post outside the vendor's sections - a reason why this needs to remain a technical-only thread.

The first time I've seen it mentioned on the M3forum was this thread. Don't get me wrong. Overall, I think EAS is the best vendor, and I still look at them first when buying anything, but I was thinking of buying these tail lights. I would have been pissed if I had fault lights on the dash. I could have lived with the flashing lights on startup.

What would happen if a customer gets this done and the lights go out? BMW won't honor the warranty when they find out its not the proper lighting for that particular year.

The taillamps have their own manufacturer warranty from BMW, but BMW likely would not be covering labor costs on retrofitted items.

Do the new LCI lights retain the rear fog light option, like the originals did?
I am asking just so that we can have the knowledge and for those who have done the rear fog light switch mod. Please let us know. Thanks Tom!!
