  • Today we do something I never thought we would do and that is convert to LCI tail lights using the EAS Wire Harness. Very easy to do and they just look so clean and fit the car better. Enjoy the video and of course the bloopers at the end! thanks to @F80 Ho for hooking these up at a great deal which convinced me to do this.

    Beautiful! LCI tail lights always spice up the rear of any PRE LCI F30 bmw. Super thorough step-by-step instructions I’m sure hundreds of people will appreciate this DIY video. Shoutout to F80 ho for hooking it up ✊🏽 tho

    Shoutout to F80 HO! It really does make a difference getting LCI’s. These Pre LCI taillights look too outdated.

      After seeing them on my car I can for sure say they are much better. I was on the fence before.

    Onde encontro esse chicote que faz a conversão?

  • @mikelam6292
    @mikelam6292 Рік тому +1

    Some people noted issues with the inner / bumper blinkers not working. I had the same issue and it’s from the wire splice not getting a good connection. Take a razor blade to lightly expose the copper wire and make your connection on the exposed wire. If this doesn’t work, make sure the metal piece you plug into the wire splice is actually inside the connector, it can slide under and not make any connection.

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  Рік тому

      Agreed on this the wire splice pieces you have to have the wires just right and if not done right will not give a good connection.

    Hi, did you have any problems coding with bimmercode so far?
    Also is it required to go into Expert mode to code or can I just change all the taillights to LED?

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  2 роки тому

      I have never had an issue coding with bimmercode the three years I have been doing it. No need for expert mode there is an actual LCI conversion activation option and a menu for all the settings to activate in the rear module menu. I go over them toward the end of the video.

    So you didn't replace the weather guards with the LCI variant. How's that going? Any water ingress?

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  Рік тому

      I did not replace any guards. My friend took his directly of his F80 and shipped them to me so didn't even think about it. I ended up going back to Pre-LCI due to an electrical issue I thought they caused, but it happens with the Pre-LCI too so just have not put them back on yet.

    What was done to the driver side zip tied wire?

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  2 роки тому

      It’s the exact same process on each side, but the trunk support on the drivers side has no wiring harness. So used zip ties to keep it in place.

    EAS I assume you mean European auto stores here in California correct? My buddy just gave me some oem LCI’s he bought off of EAS and they came with the harness but are these just straight drop in’s for my 2015 or do i need that scotch lock?

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  2 роки тому +1

      EAS is European Auto Source online. Depends on what type it is, plenty of aftermarket ones out there that have their own harness. True BMW OEM ones from a 2016+ being retrofitted to 2015 will need it. EAS sales tail lights that already come with the harness, but the scotch lock is still needed for them.

      @@CarsWithKeav OK good to know because I got a pair off my buddy that he purchased off of EAS and it came with the harness but I don’t have the scotch thing. lowkey i’m scared to take those pins out and switch them in case it doesn’t work, let me ask you this if I don’t use the scotch thing will just the turn signals not work? Or will the whole taillight not work?

    I actually had a bad experience with an installer. I dug my wiring and noticed he tapped right side brake wiring across to the left brake line.. Now I'm getting left brake light failure.
    The original wire has no power coming from it. Anyone can advise how do I go bout this?
    Local coders are charging a bomb for a fix..

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  25 днів тому

      Did they swap the leads? I know you have to change wires around in the harness to get it right. Was it coded out correct as well? So many things could be the problem.
