rear u.s lights
 
Can anyone help ,

Thinking of buying some rear tail lights from u.s ebay, will they be ok on a u.k X or will the indicators stay on ?

They should work the same on a UK X5 as a US X5. There is no difference between the US based X5 and the UK based X5 when it comes to the tail lights.

Dont your indicators stay on and then flash when you turn ?

I would think they work with no issue. I'm basing this on the fact that I've never seen different electrical descriptions for lights or different part numbers for US vs. UK models. You will have to reverse the orientation of the lights since you foks drive on the wrong side of the road.

Even if that were the case, that would be driven by the LCM (light control module) and not the tail lights themselves.
