Just hardware of lens and coding? No need for additional modifications since I already have LCI?

I did them on my 18 F80. Very easy just plug and play. They look awesome!

Amazing choice, love the ones on the right

Brasko · 06-21-2018, 12:50 PM

Euro tail lights work so well with MG. Nice choice!

Lights purchased from iND, and a HUGE shout out to Justin.AutoTalent for the install and coding!

Enjoy the video below, and if anyone would like some extra still shots or angles, let me know and I'll get out the DSLR!

That looks really good. I want these for my Black F80 now!

That would be cool. I do like the red strips though. I think it works either way.

They really look unique in person and fit well with MG.
They really look akin to the Porsche 718 taillights, similar to this photo below:

This is a great comparison. The Euro spec look much better than US spec IMO.

Not feeling it at all. However, if it makes you happy; that's all that matters.

coolmody · 06-21-2018, 01:10 PM

This is what they look like on my AW F80. I agree with the others who say they look like lights you buy off eBay.

Vinboyblue · 06-21-2018, 01:10 PM

I'm waiting on the gts lights

Nope, all stock except for the BMS CANFLAP module (which opens the valves). The first clip was filmed pretty much on cold start

Agreed!

I hated the pre-LCI lights and saw these in person and fell in love on how they looked on MG. Definitely up to opinion!

kerkiraios00 · 06-21-2018, 01:25 PM

These lights come stock on the F80s in Europe? Or is it an m performance part?

Speedwell-Industries · 06-21-2018, 01:46 PM

The taillights and exhaust are looking amazing!!

That's what I mean - I think it would be awesome if they were clear, or even smoked, like those

The reflection of your driveway through me off in the video. Made me not like them immediately. I do like the idea but I think the turn signal and the red light together puts me off a little. I'm on the fence. Maybe if the turn signal wasn't so "white" looking or if the red wasn't red. Just the two together throws me off. Like it better than stock for sure! Congrats!

Literally my EXACT same thoughts. So weird I was thinking about posting that right before I saw your post.

I find the pre-lci and lci tails virtually indistinguishable

One has the reverse lights on top and the other on the bottom. Not nearly as drastic of a chance like on the E9x generation.

Doctor///M · 06-21-2018, 02:19 PM

IMO they look a lot better on AW than they do on MG.

BMOEW · 06-21-2018, 03:03 PM

Looks like a lexus now

Same here. I thought there was some strange silver/white strip at the bottom of them. Much butter out of direct sunlight in the still photo

Looks great. Especially on your car colour 👍
