Actually, you would have had the same issue - the facelift doesn't use low wattage bulbs like your car uses - if the P.O. had left the original (21w) bulbs in place, you would have had the same issue.

The point is, it's not just the wiring that is different between pre and facelift - it's the LCM, the wiring, the bulbs AND the electrical signals themselves that are different, i.e. everything...

re. license plate LED lights flickering - does the earlier LCM not have the ability to disable hot and cold monitoring, using something like BMW Scanner (PASoft)?

Surely it would be easier to install regular bulbs than to perform an LCM upgrade...
