Thats my guess. I have aftermarket LED tail lights on my E36, and have no problem with them either.

My guess is some aftermarket companies do more research than others. The one in question here probably didn't know there were different tail lights on each side of a production split, with the update, and most likely degisned the tail lights to work with a newer E53. I would try to find some that actually offer different tail lights depending on year... then you know they did some research on the differences.
