Newbie here...how to change UJ light on F55 and coding??
Hello everyone,
I am new and I would like to thank in advance for helping.
I have a 2016 Mini Cooper S 4 Doors. I don't know anything at all but I love the look of the UJ Led Tail light and I want to go ahead to do it myself. I think I have a normal (?) tail light that is not led. I heard that I need to code and do some conversion if I need to change my tail light. So here comes the questions...
First, what version of UJ tail light do I need to get (US or UK)? And what are the differences? (where do I get that light?) I found that Mini Seattle has them but not sure if that fit...
Second, how to I connect/install the lights if the original lights are not led. Do I need conversion kit or something?
Third, what is coding. How do I do that? What do I need to do so?
I looked up online for quite a few days and I found very confusing answers for my questions. So I really appreciate your help.
And I live in New York.

Thank you! How much do you charge for that? I am saving up to get the lights as my birthday present in October. What’s rear fog? Thank you again!

Rear Fogs ... please disregard ... had my BMW hat on .... the rear fogs are not part of the tail light assembly on the F55, and is a separate light on the rear bumper lower fascia, so doesn't matter.
I bought mine from ECS Tuning, under the following part numbers:
63217435135
63217435136
If I recall correctly, it will be important to take a look at the connector on the back of your existing tail lights to ensure that they will match the new UJ LED tails. You can do a VIN decoding on your vehicle to determine if your existing lights are LED if you are unsure.

If you have the LED Headlights, you should also have the LED tails.

I love the UJ tail lights too. I found these on eBay and the seller told me no programming is required. https://www.ebay.com/itm/173898836582?ul_noapp=true
Plug and Play install. Is he right? Why would his lights not need any programming?
