Need your help! E92 LCI Tail Lights

SG_E92 · 04-14-2011, 11:45 AM

Hey guys I have a 2007 328i with stock FRM2. Im ready to buy the LCI tails the "BMW - e92/3 LCI LED Taillamp Upgrade for 3-Series & M3 (US Version)" package from EAS which includes the harness. I need to know will my car require any coding? If I just buy them and hook them up will they function properly and just throw an error code? I tried sending an email to patrys but have not got a response. Also, will i need to purchase FRM3? I tried multiple seaches but could not find a definite answer from somone with the same year what the outcome of the install was without coding. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. Coding will be required

Thanks for the reply. What will happen until they are coded? Do you know who could code them for me? Also, do you know if the FRM3 would still be required?

You can mount them by yourself (you'll save some money) and you will see an error light on your dashboard and your blinkers will flash much faster but they will work.
No FRM3 needed, I had my FRM2 perfectly coded here in Houston at an equipped autologic shop.
Basically the code disables the checking when you start the engine and will set the blinkers at the right timing.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but I don't think the LCI taillights will fit on your pre-LCI vehicle..

of course they will fit.... you only need to find a place that can code them with an autologic
