Taillight Questions

Hi all, I'm thinking about picking up a 335i xDrive. The only issue is the taillights because it's a 2014. I like the taillights on the 340i better, but am looking at an amazing deal. Can I put some lights from the 2017 on?

Yes you can instal lci tailight into your pre lci f30 car, I did mine as well. Installation was a breeze, But the new taillight need to be coding, which mean you need someone to help you coding the tailight. Hope this help!

Plug and play, other than coding?

Yeap pretty much plug and play, apart that you need to remove the old tailight, which mean to open the booth door trim and did the wiring from the tailight to the battery (which is very close).

That's what I'm considering for my 435i..

Does anyone know where I can obtain the LCI tail lights for a 435i?
