Pre-LCI vs LCI Tail Bulbs...?

Hi,
I'm lookng to do the LCI tail mod, and wondered if one of you who have done this could tell me if the bulbs are the same between the Pre-LCI and the LCI for the Brake, Turns, backup, etc...

It looks like the Rear Turn Signal Bulbs may be a different type, but would like to confirm this if anyone can tell me...

Thanks in advance,
John

LCI (2011 - current my) tail lights on a pre LCI (2007 - 2010 my) E70. LCI stands for Life Cycle Impulse which is the fancy way of saying that the X5 got a bit of a facelift.

Same here. I have a 2009. LCI tails look awesome. Took me about 20min to install.
