Cheaper E92 LCI taillights are coming soon...

dwells · 09-05-2014, 12:01 PM

Looks like DEPO has cloned the E92 LCI taillights. Everyone seemed to be pretty happy with the quality of their blackline E90 tails which sold for $175, so let's hope pricing and quality wind up being similar.

nice find! When do these go on sale?

Depo says they're already out, and have amber blinkers (Euro spec). Their distributors in Europe should have them by now, and I imagine they'll trickle their way into the US fairly soon as well.

Every DEPO housing I've dealt with on an E90 or another vehicle has leaked or had issues. I'd suggest waiting for a deal on OEMs. It's more of a hassle to try and seal them and/or deal with leaks after install.

dbworld4k · 09-05-2014, 11:03 PM

NICE!!! About damn time! I had a set of Depo LED tails on my E46 for years and never had an issue.

Edit: A quick eBay search yield this. Bahahah, $500?! Fuck no. Id' just get OEMs at that point. The seller must be on crack.

rather stick with OEM..

tturbolife · 09-05-2014, 11:07 PM

If they are under $250 I would definitely consider them. $500? no way in hell!

Hah, that's only a few bucks cheaper than OEM. Hopefully other sells get their hands on them and bring some competition to the market. I don't see any reason other than price gouging for why the E90 ones would be $175 and these would be triple that.

$399, getting cheaper already: https://www.uniquestyleracings.com/i...product_id=532

Getting better. I see no reason why these can't be around $300-$350 mark like with the E90 tails or the E46 LED tails when they came out.

Only reason they aren't is because of price gouging due to limited availability. Give it a little time and they'll settle.

Will coding need to be done you guys think?

Yea most likely. These are still the lci tail lights for the 11-13 models just aftermarket is all.

Taran.J · 09-10-2014, 09:33 AM

Sorry but OEM always beats out depo with quality and ease of use (No codes or their code eliminators going out)

The OEM lights require coding, same as these.

I'm sure build quality will be a bit better on OEM, but if these drop in price more, I doubt the quality gap will be enough to justify the more expensive OEM lights.

You'll be seeing some prime examples starting to sell when the M3 guys jump to the M4

$349 now without the retrofit wiring harness.

dbworld4k · 09-10-2014, 03:36 PM

It says the harness is included now. There isn't even an option to add it like yesterday.

techie182 · 09-10-2014, 05:50 PM

Waiting for $250-$299 price. Would love to replace my pre-lci with that.
