Anyone know where I can get F82 M4 LCI Taillight Wiring Harnesses?

As the title says, does anyone know where I can get F82 M4 LCI 2 Taillight Wiring Harnesses?

Found one or two places online but neither specify whether or not they give adequate cables to wire up both lights or only one.

Thanks for any help!

Any idea if the M3 LCI Wiring Harness would also work for the f82? I see they sell that individually for 125.

I used this one: 61-12-6-831-264. Got it from a dealer in MD (getbmwparts.com) $109 plus shipping. Worked fine, although it helps if you're double jointed when it comes time to route the cable into the battery compartment area. You'll still need to code in the inner (trunk side) lights to blink when you're finished. I used BimmerCode to turn the lights on like DRLs 😍 but I still need to code the blinker ops.

Thanks man, mind telling me if ordering 61-12-6-831-264 will include the supplies for installing both LCI Taillights or do I need to order 2 of these parts?

The harness (1 harness) is all you need to wire all the lights. You'll be replacing the harness that runs up the trunk strut and across the lid to the other side. While feeding a few other components the harness feeds the inner trunk tail lights. The outer lights just plug into the existing wiring jack behind them.

really hope you can help me with my question on the other thread as well, quoted it below. i just got bimmercode as well when i went into REM (non expert mode) , i saw all the voltage monitoring is set to bulbs and i changed to LED, it didnt help resolve the two-stage lamp malfunction error. my inner blinker also still dont work i dont know if im missing harness or just coding. attached a picture of the harness as well here. i dont see a splice or connectors when i removed outer brake lamp so im assuming it's not EAS or aftermarket harness installed.

i picked up a 2015 f80 (produced 2014 Nov). previous owner swapped to lci led tail lights. i dont see any flickering and lights work but i have the below two issues.

1. when i hard brake (brake force) , i got a left 2-stage brake lamp mal function, also right 2-stage brake lamp mal function. (see first pic). when i took the outer brake lamp housing apart to inspect the bulbs, i noticed it's actually hella light units , per google they are direct oem units but i m not entirely sure (see second pic), and i see only turn signal has a bulb, is it suppose to have a bulb for tail light lamp as well? seems like it is when i just googled on the par t# and looked at all the pictures out there (see third pic circled red , circled green part is where turn signal led is )

2. inner light doesnt light up when turn signal is on (see fourth pic circled in blue). am i just missing a harness? also this part is hella inner brake lamp unit (see fifth pic)


really hope someone can provide me guidance on what im missing to fix the two issues , thanks!

You may need to flash your REM to newer version of software
