Sorry Luke but the Alpine kit is not applicable to your vehicle
Is the dark line rear lights I am after a price for or is it called alpine kit in the trade?
DOH!!!

Sorry Luke, I had a run on Alpine kits this morning so was on an Alpine roll :lol2:

£230 including vat and delivery

This kit may require the additional loom which most people do themselves as the BMW one is £75

To order please call 01452872666 and quote ref 20705

Hi Luke,

Have a similar issue with my 08 135i, found this on an another thread that might be helpful;

"Nah, there's two versions. LED and non-LED. Forget your headlights for now. Did your car come with LCI tail lights or the older ones with the 3 LED stripes?

If you have the 3 LED stripes then you can just buy the "HIGH" version (LED) Darklines and plop them on there. No wiring or new modules or anything is required, despite what BMW will tell you.

If you already have LCI rear lights (doubt it on a 2010) then you will have to stick with the type of lights that are already on there, or mess about with wiring and modules to change them. So if you have LCI rears without the LED Celis strips then you'll have to get the non-LED Darklines (or new wiring and modules to fit the LED versions) but if you already have LCI LED rears (which come with LCI Xenon-equipped cars) then you can just swap over to the LED Darklines.

Does that answer your question? :D"

From this, I understand that by having the 3 LED stripes as tail lights it should just been a straight swap to the HIGH Darklines.

Was from the following thread, " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... &start=240

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if this is the same thing on 2010 LCI E87 with Halogens on the front. Rear lights look like they have 3 led strips in them between the indicator and brake section but they are the low versions?

Sonic1506 said:
cotswoldbmwmini is the above true for E87 as well?
With your vehicle details there is the option of low or high version, As you have halogen lights then yours would need the low version (according to BMW)

Having said that, I do know some of the guys on the forums have "made" the high version work

Damnit was hoping for Plug and Play. I did a search on the forum and there's a guide but it's from Pre-FL from what I saw. I'll look into it more. I DID have halogen lights ;) :lol2:.

Thanks for the reply.
