I bought the american side lights and put them on my car but I still have to fix them to work. I looked on ETKA but didn't find the parts that go on the lights.
Does someone knows if there are electric wires originally from bmw to fix them on the car or do you need to do it yourself.
I would prefer to do it original but don't know if it's possible.
I hope that the one's that did this too can help me,please?

There should be wires already in the harness for them.
Funny...we don't like them over here.
And by the way, their North American (the continent vs the country). Mute point I know...
Cheers,
Jim

Well not on my car, don't think european cars have that already in the harness.
And it's always, we want the American style and you guys want the european style

Ow and sorry North American

From the (North) American wiring diagrams, I can tell you that the front marker lights are run from the grey/yellow and grey/white left and right sidelamp wires somewhere between the light switch and the front lamp failure module in the fusebox.
The rear marker lights are both run from the grey/red wire that feeds the panel lamps, etc., and the rear number plate lights, again before the fusebox lamp failure module.

Dont they call them 'diving board' bumpers because of how far they stick out
