Non OEM LCI Tail Lights -E92

HollowmanVIII · 12-02-2015, 05:22 AM

Just wondering if anyone is running non-oem lci tails on their e92? What is the fit and light quality like, or is it better to save a bit more cash for the oem ones?

Cheers

I have none OEM, look exactly the same to me and fit is spot on!

AWSAWS · 12-02-2015, 06:43 AM

Prices and where to buy? Are we talking LCI mod?

Also do you have pics Ray

Dsport · 12-02-2015, 10:10 AM

Very nice Do they need coding

Guys, you can buy genuines for less than that price. Most that have been on sale on this forum have gone for about the £400 mark IIRC.

+1 I sold my old set for £350 that included the harness. Easy to fit yourself too

HollowmanVIII · 12-02-2015, 12:38 PM

They look good Raymondo, how is the fitting, no gaps is there etc compared to the oem ones you removed.

RajB · 12-03-2015, 02:55 AM

They look good and not a bad price if you really can't wait for a set to come up...but as Sam has pointed out if you hold out then worth sourcing a secondhand kit from someone.

I've bought a couple things of this seller in the past - excellent service.

Nice find bro.

Searching searching works the wonders.....

HollowmanVIII · 12-03-2015, 04:23 AM

That's not a bad price for OEM, however the delivery is £20 and factor in they don't come with the harness (£50) you're still talking £520 all in for used lights. Raymondo's ones were brand new listed at £434? including delivery.

AWBimmer · 12-03-2015, 05:01 AM

I guess there aren't as many around these days as there were when I bought mine but I personally would hold out for OEM. Not saying there's anything wrong with aftermarket but just my .2p

paulf61 · 12-03-2015, 07:39 AM

I have LCI rear lights fitted to my pre-lci E92, couple of pics below for fitment, they look ok to me.

The ULO ones from euro car parts are same as OEM. I bought my inners from them and the BMW logos made into the plastic casting are ground off as they are not sold through BMW!

Shamza · 12-03-2015, 09:40 AM

Eurocarparts...Can get all 4 for £310 if you wait for a 10% off day.

Got mine last week, look great.

Or stick them in your basket and wait for the 5% off email to come through >24hrs.

Which part numbers are they on the site? As there seems to be about 7/8 varients. I chose a 2012 E92 as my car to get the LCI's to show, although mines an 09.

Harnesses aren't £50, I got a set for Seb on here for £28 from the dealers.

Also they are genuine which factors in to it but if you aren't fussed about it then deffo go with the non OE ones.
