Euro/ROW tails.

My first (and probably only) mod. I have a thing for amber tails. I think they are just safer. Next up will be X-pel or similar paint protection.

Nice, I bought the same one's. Love the yellow indicators.

Do yourself a favor and put in some white LED reverse bulbs in there if you haven't already. The stock bulbs look like shit and are not LEDs for some reason.

These are what I have and they're awesome:

Mine's a 2017. I just retrofitted LCI tail lights.

Thread on how to do that is here:

Just keep in mind they're polarity specific so if one or both don't light up after you plug them in don't freak out, just rotate them 180 degrees

Thanks just curious my M2 is an 18 and I wouldn't mind upgraded the reverse lights

Did anybody bother to re-code the car for the reverse lights as LEDs?

I'm not exactly sure what it does - I'm guessing maybe changes the way it does bulb checks (or omits the checks entirely?) but it's definitely something that can be changed with eSys...

I just changed out the reverse bulbs with the LEDs you recommended. Big change! Thanks for sharing.

BTW, the LEDs worked with the REM coded to both "bulb" and "LED". I coded it to LED just in case.
