When you mention the plastic boot panel I assume you refer to the center bumper mount.

Re: Rear Light Facelift Update Cheap How to
This is not working for me. I swapped the pins as specified. I validated the pin swaps in the BMW manual. The right side is woring fine, the left side is all screwed up. Left turn signal flashes the left upper LED at a very rapid rate. It should be flashing the amber. Something is wrong.

Re: Rear Light Facelift Update Cheap How to
The bumper that i bought from ebay, arrived today. After several hours of polishing, it didnt even need re-spray
Tail lights should arrive later on this week, so I should be able to begin installing at next weekend..
Lets hope they work on my car

4 black-green
5 gray-purple
6 blue-green
Right side
1 blue-brown
2 gray-yellow
3 blue-black

Re: Rear Light Facelift Update Cheap How to
Allright.
I got everything done.
installation took about 2.5h, so it was fairly quick. Thanks to these how to guides..
I still need to get those light frames to fix that gap between the rear fender and the light.

Re: Rear Light Facelift Update Cheap How to
Hi guys,
Apart from the recoding and bumper - Would LHD rear lights work with a RHD car?

I had a loose or poorly seated bulb. I removed the assembly, reseated the bulbs, problems solved.

A few teaser shots before I go for paint. I've been doing all of the pre fitting work myself.

Re: Rear Light Facelift Update Cheap How to
Another lemming
After months of searching and missing out on rearfaclift lights on ebay, I managed to pickup a set for £110
They were a tad scratched and dull but i used a restorer to get them back to a near new condition
I should be getting my Ebay M rear bumper and frames back from the painters next week, but have wimped out on the rewiring and recoding, as i have found a place near Birmingham that will do it for £80 - if all goes to plan i will post some pics and details -
Bitter, sweet... This maybe my last major mod

May seem a daft question but how do you open the boot? It looks from the pictures that the rear spoiler is attached to the rear wings or is it just me?
Personally I don't like the rear spoiler. I think it spoils the lines of the car... but each to there own
