LCI tail light conversion
Hello. I ve got a bmw e70 non lci and i want to make the conversion to LCI tail lights, they look gorgeous.
Should i buy oem used tail lights or new aftermarket ones ? If you have any experience with AM tail lights, you can share it. I d appreciate very much :D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Curious as wel. The Depo LCI retrofit tail lights are enticing. Anyone have experience with them?
|
Nobody ? :(

Hi,
I have OE LCI Tails on my pre-LCI 4.8, much improved for sure. Having had bad experiences with aftermarket lights in the past, I couldn't take the chance again. There are always a bunch of used LCIs on eBay... Thanks, John |
I'd generally consider Depo to be just a step above merely functional.
|
I've had the Depo for 2 years now. No problems at all. Due to limited garage space, car is parked outside. No leaks or cracks, etc. Great upgrade!

5Xtheproblems, thanks for the update. Can you post a few pics with the brake lights on? Considering grabbing a set for $400. |
I see the opinions are split. Hmm...

Has ANYONE ever seen their tail lights when driving?
(I suppose backing into a spot at night in front of a glassfront store....) ;) |

Will do once I get off work. & yes, I enjoy unlocking the car and seeing the LCI LED bars glow as opposed to the pre-LCI strips. Sure, I don't see them while driving, but they're there for other's viewing pleasure ;pervert; |
Cant wait to se the photos :D. Also, can you make a photo in daylight ?

That is my main concern, how much they will last. I see we have a someone who has them for some time.

Snapped some pics. Not the greatest, but they look OE and the light bars have an even color to the eye. They're sharper looking too in person. I took it to the dealer and they were surprised how good they look!

They look very good. We also have the same car color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Really like your LCI taillight update. Could one swap out the turn signal bulb to an amber version? I'd prefer an amber turn signal.
Also, your window tint is spot on. What were the percentages you used for the rear windows and front sides? Looking to make this upgrade before the sweltering, southern summer starts. Thanks! |
thanks for the pics, 5Xtheproblems

After seeing the pics, I don't think I'm going to upgrade because it will make me want to convert to LCI front and rear bumpers. :dunno: If I were to upgrade the tail lights, I'd prefer the red signal housings and those are $800+. |

I have 20% tint all around. It looks really good on the car. As far as the bumpers go, I put the aero kit and it added enough extra depth to the bumper to give it a clean look with the LCI tails. I shouldve taken a picture today when I was parked next to an LCI. The 08 still looked good next to it. |
