You need an OBDII coding utility that lets you enable daytime running lights for the rear, if that's what you're asking. Bimmercode seems to be the most popular. You'll also need a compatible OBDII adapter. You can enable just the inner, just the outer or both rear lights together as DRL

It can't be coded, you need to purchase a new pair of European-spec tail lights hardware..

All US-spec BMWs comes with red color turn signals, except for the M4 CS with the OLED tail lights and the i8..

Part of the reason why is archaic US lighting regulations, which is a long nerdy explanation. Long story short, that's just the way it is.

The 2018 LCI M2 and the M2C share the same part numbers. I purchased mines on eBay and the price is dropping from when I got them, which was at the end of 2017.. So good times to make the switch.

I got mines from these guys:

Part numbers for Euro Spec tail lights:

Right - 63217420992
Left - 63217420991
