OLED Tail Lights for F80 M3

[BzsBimmer]

I’ve had my other VLAND lights for a while. Never had issues but honestly I can’t see my lights when I’m driving so I’m just guessing they work when I need them to lol

[trungnguyen28]

Just installed mine today. Shipping took only about 10days from Alibaba. The fitment space between my trunk lamp and corner lamp is.. reallyyyyy tight. Like I can barely put a credit card in between them.

Otherwise, the fitment was pretty good. Say 8.5-9/10. I ordered from a different vendor, not VLAND though.

can anybody Show what wires are needet for a LCI f80 . i really dont like that they Lights have so many connectors on the back.
i want to cut the not needet stuff off.

If you all order from that vlanus website, you can use coupon code "VLAND5" and save an extra 25$. Just ordered mine and was $465. Think that is the cheapest out the door domestic.

The connectors should be labelled. I would ask the vendor if they are not. You could also compare the connectors on the tail lights with the connectors from the car. Check where the crimp positions are on both sides and that they have matching positions.

If one position is blank from the cars connector, it should be missing on the tail light connector too. Thats how you match them if you dont have labels but its safer to ask the vendor just in case something goes wrong.

Just received both sets today, shipping took just over 10 days.







However, I noticed a few nicks and cracks on the lens. They're quite noticeable from afar.
I know these can be expected from Alibaba products, but I wanted to see if these were consistent on anyone else's taillights or was mine just badly handled during packaging.



Feels like a deep crack on these ones.

[21Inked]

from what vendor u order ?

[DataNerd]

In case anybody did order from VLAND (I did and was wondering why I hadn't heard anything about shipping) - it looks like they are out of pocket until February 22nd.

No, thats not normal. The lights normally come with a thin plastic screen protector material like saran wrap. Is that how they came straight out of the box without any protection?

[BzsBimmer]

Yeah not normal. Looks like handling damage and or a return that was just resent back to you.

There should have been a plastic film as stated above covering the lens.

[BoostinChick]

x3 mine came with a plastic film on the lens, enclosed tightly in styrofoam, and even the styrofoam was wrapped in bubble wrap.

[AtlantisF80]

I got the V1s and the scratches are not normal. Mine was close to perfect cosmetically.

[knickerbocker]

Hey all, just went through this thread. Thanks for all the great info. I'm looking to get a set of the V2s. The most commonly posted links for the V2s seem to be:
https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...7b242fc2tr6MQl

and

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001821776406.html

However, I've just noticed the following link:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...archweb201603_

Can anyone confirm if they've purchased from this seller? It seems to be from the same manufacture, Vland. If so looks like a pretty good price for them right now.

[amancuso]

That looks pretty sh!!ty

They came packed in a styrofoam box with saran wrap covering the lens, I had just peeled it off to inspect. Sounds like I won the lottery with this one. I'll see what the vendor says.

[Kilabyte]

Ouch, sorry to hear. I hope you get it taken care of. It doesn't just look scratched, it looks like the edges are chipped.

[ThuperMiata]

Vendor offered to ship replacements once I ship mine back, fingers crossed the new sets are in better condition ! Pretty excited to see these in action

They are simply offering you $230 on top of $420 total shipping for that 1 year warranty and faster shipping due to domestic instead of international.

Alibaba sellers in China will cover the shipping if you do not like the product and will do a full refund.

Mine arrived in 10 days from China with 2 small scratches that i may be able to buff off. And they offered me total shipback and refund or $50 compensation.
I took the $50 compensation since from far, it's not that visible. Also the one from Bayoptiks will be having the same risk of possibly original defect up due the product is imported directly from China.

Either
1. you can buy from alibaba around $420 and wait 10 days

Tell Patrick Fan (very responsive sales support) that Bryan sent you.

2. or buy it from the official vlandus which offers free shipping in US ($490) with 1 year warranty.

I would not want to pay $160-230 just for a reseller brand name like Bayoptiks.

Hey man, I saw your review on Patrick Fans item. I just ordered a pair about a week ago and like you said, great seller and very responsive. Anyways, I was wondering since I didn’t see any videos on his site but do the taillights he sell have the startup lighting sequence? I know for the most part all taillights sold in Alibaba are the same but just wanted to confirm. Thanks!

Nice to see other Hawaii peeps here. What year/specs is your ride?
