You can probably DIY since the E92 & E93 LCI taillight retrofit doesn't require you to change the whole trunk.

I did a LCI taillight retrofit on my E90 2006 325i and it was pretty simple. I don't think you need a harness for the E92/E93 since your existing wiring should be all centralised - you should be able to use your existing wiring. I think the E92/E93 swap should be just plug and play. I had to swap two wires around on the inner taillight connectors to get my inner taillights to work on my E90.

There should be a few threads that show you how to do it.

the plugs are different =( and i dont want to mess with the wires cutting and all not worth the risk of something catching on fire lol

Yeah, looks like you might have to get someone to cut the wires and make a harness for you. I never knew the plugs are different for the LCI tails on the E92/E93.

Good luck on that and post pics when you're done!
