Pre LCI to LCI compatibility

anyone know if I swap my pre LCI to an LCI tail lights from another car, will the other car have errors, codes or will they even fit?

You will get a bulb out warning, pretty easy fix to have it coded out.

I know my car will need new conversion harness, what about the other vehicle?

I have a buddy who’s trading in his LCI e93 & is willing to swap. I’m more concerned about fitment with his, I know what mine will need.

There are no harnesses to convert LCI to pre lci.

It can be done if you cut your old ones and swap into the LCI car, both cars will have cut harnesses but at least you'll have lci tails.

Or you can try repinning both harnesses. If the pins aren't the same you'll need new pins which are most likely special order.
