My Z was rear ended last week and I’m going to use this as an opportunity to update the look of the rear from the pre facelift tails/bumper to the facelift.
I’ve been doing research and so far it looks like this is what I’ll need:
Facelift Bumper Cover #51127170618
Left LED Tail #63217162729
Right LED Tail #63217162730
Left Tail Surround #51717167525
Right Tail Surround #51717167526
Now to my questions, first do I need the following?
Bumper Mount #51127158875 (there is a center piece and then also a left and right listed with different part numbers..)
As for the coding, wiring etc. to get the LEDs working right and no bulb out warning
Wiring Clusters: (Is this correct for US/NA spec cars? I know there was an issue with rear fog lights and reverse lights with EU models but I don't quite understand)
Left side
1 Black-yellow
2 empty
3 brown
4 black-green
5 gray-purple
6 blue-green
Right side
1 blue-brown
2 gray-yellow
3 blue-black
4 brown
5 blue-yellow
6 empty
Coding:
Quote:
1. the tail lights and break light is on
well, to prevent the "t" effect, you just have to code your light control module - in german the code is:
BREMSLICHT_ALS_STANDLICHT
nicht_aktiv
this means the breaklight should not longer work as your side markers and then they are off. everything works as intended (break, tail light..)
2. flickering of taillight / 6V issue
well, you took the power of the light of your plate sign - you can also program your light control module as follows:
PWM_ANSTEUERUNG_SL_RE_HI
wert_01
PWM_ANSTEUERUNG_SL_LI_HI
wert_01
this gives 12v to the tail lights without further modications.
this works out perfectly with my 2003 Z4 - hence no really need to buy the new light control module.
3. bulbs in the cockpit / dashboard
just deactive the checkcontrols and everything is fine.
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_RL_LI
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_RL_RE
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_RL_RE
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_RL_LI
CC_RUECKLICHT_LINKS
CC_RUECKLICHT_RECHTS
to deactive the checkcontrol.

So to sum everything up, does the part list include what I'll need, what wiring harness do I need and will that coding make everything work right with no bulb out error?
Hoping someone who has done this swap can chime in. Thanks!
