Hi Newbee, welcome here

Not sure if you have seen but there is another thread with some discussion around this. One of the forum members Jaxxsson, was looking into it.

I've seen that topic.
But I was wondering what to do if you just want both to illuminated (not only the corners) .

At this moment no aftermarket yet from BMW.

If somebody can help , please post.

Luminated inner taillights

Hello all

For all owners which like to have luminated inner taillights without xenon
headlights
it seems their is a way to get this done by first replacing the
standard taillights by the LED taillights and than connect the replaced
LED taillights onto the wiring of the tail numberplate powercable since
the tail numberplate is already LED. After replacing taillights the OBD
codes need to be reprogrammed this is what I have been told.

A guy in Germany I've been talking to said to me he is able to adjust the BMW
factory pre-installed car's software by OBD recoding told me that
each Bimmer which leaves the factory has same software. This means
a X1 intended for the Dutch market has same car software like an car
intended for US market, so the US front side indicators which are
illuminated continuously can by switched on the Dutch market car by
recoding which needs to be done by special software and a computer
which is contected to vehicle by a OBD cable. For anyone who is
interested. http://www.car-coding.de

Perhaps this will be of help for the X1 owners without the xenon
headlights in combination with the very attractive LED taillights

At least you've saved about 1400 EUR on Xenon and its washer!

Is that deep sea blue metallic paint that you have? I've got a sDrive 18i in that colour with the exact same wheels as you do! I'm situated in Sydney though not Melbourne. I've also looked into upgrading the taillights to the LCI's. But there's too much trouble, and not exactly cheap to purchase and install.
