Abdul is the cheapest though and says he does his own QA of the VLAND products, so I see no reason to not go with him. |

Red or Smoked/Blackline? This video should answer your question. Installed smoked on one side and red on the other.

Check this post for details on replacing the tail lights on an F83:
https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1449047 Basically you're just following the existing wiring loom on the passenger side from the outside tails to the inside (make sure to leave slack where the existing wiring does). You then repeat the process on the driver's side using the passenger side run as a guide. I ran the wiring into the trunk through one of the grommit holes behind the tail lights (there's only one hole that goes all the way through). Make sure to *not* remove any of the tabs from the lights (that's only required for the coupe). I also had to splice in more wire to make them long enough to follow the existing wiring all the way up to the inside lights for a completely clean install.

Passenger side: Driver's side: Here's a shot of the driver's side before I cleaned it up to give you an idea of how I ran the wires: And here's a shot of the grommit hole I ran them through: Unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures of the wiring on the trunk up to the inside lights before I put all the carpet back on, but you just follow the loom all the way. As I mentioned, I had to splice in about an extra 2' of wire in order to make the run. Hope this helps!

Debating on purchasing a set for my F80, but I have an '18 with the LCI lights and don't know if purchasing these will be "worth" it just to look cool. Maybe if someone in Houston has a set installed and I see it in person then it will change my mind. I mainly don't want to deal with malfunctioning bulbs or problems later on with an aftermarket unit.
