US to EU lighting
Hey Beachbum
I've just this week done exactly what you're trying to do. I bought a 2014 E84 from the US and made it UK (Europe for the moment) compliant.
Got some amber rear lamps on ebay UK, plenty of them about. Check to make sure you get the correct lamps, US use LED for rear sidelights which are an extra in Europe
Did the Fog lamp mod which is a brilliant thread on this forum, and yesterday got the Front amber "Sidelights" coded out so they are now just Turn signals as they call them in the US, indicators on this side of the pond.
The coding I believe changed the car to a full EU spec vehicle in order to remove the amber lights? Not a techie myself so not exactly sure, just know that when I turn the sidelights on only the DRL come on which are fine for Europe as they are less (Much Less) than 450mm from the edge of the vehicle.
The fella that did the coding did it remotely from his desk, I took my car to a local place, he plugged his laptop in and the remote fella jumped on, 20 minutes later a EU spec E84.
