Their wire harness seems to be different from EAS.
Please post pictures so we can see them!

I installed the lights myself and got the outers hooked up. Just plug and play.
Still need some time to figure out if I can disconnect the original harness myself and install the one I got with the lights. Any tips on easily removing the original harness?

Here are some pictures. The light look high quality. They got to me in 3 weeks but one one week after their manufacturing date of 5-20

Those look like the regular Euro LCI tails - not the Shadowline this thread is about?

There definitely Shadowline, the picture doesn't do them enough justice I guess.

Just finished installing mine. It's easy taking out the harness, I'd invest in a trim removal tool but you can definitely do it yourself. The longest part of the install (to me at least) was disconnecting the wires on the harness. I took my time wiggling them out.

Also, these came with plug and play harness so there's no need to insert pins to the connector.

Which harness did you use? Was your car pre LCI or was already LCI?

Mine is pre-LCI. I used the harness that came with the shadowline tail lights.

Did either of you figure out the coding part for pre-LCI? I'm purchasing these today for my 2017 M4. Please let me know if you use bimmercode or another form to code the LED.

Which is what I was quoted.

Guess they caught on that they have something people want
Living in this country I'm not surprised.
These people are taxed to death and money hungry as hell.
Look like good lights. I would've liked to have got them as well but since they have decided to price gouge, they can "pound sand"

The harness they came with apparently doesn't need coding, just plug and play. But the stock harness has been impossible for me to disconnect.

From what I read, if you use an add on harness from eBay then yes you'll need to code the inners. And I have BimmerCode and just email the customer support for the expert mode steps you'll need to do.

I followed the EAS guide. I used Esys to code mine, it was pretty straight forward and worked without issues.

What's the issue with the oem harness not disconnecting? You may need a small screwdriver to depress the clip in at the base, itll pull right out after that.

If you have a 15 model, the inner tail turn signal function wont work with the supplied oem replacement harness but there is a work around to hard wire.

Yep I have '15. And the inner signals aren't working. What's the inner turn signal light work around?

Can I use Bimmercode coding to make them work?

How long did it take your order to arrive? I placed my order last Thursday, and sent the payment via bank transfer. I haven't received confirmation of order or any shipping information.. and my last emails have gone without response. Should I be concerned at this point?

This is what shows on my order confirmation. The rep told me they haven't adjusted the part numbers so they don't show up on their website right now.
