LCI light swap
I've seen a handful of threads about it, but I'm seriously thinking about ordering these for my car. They're plug and play (may require re-pinning, not 100% yet) and no where near the cost of new - these are on sale now, also. With the other option being used and filtering through undamaged listings, I'm feeling like they'd be worth it.
Edit: Canceled the lights from China. Install was really easy, I used Youtube Install as my guide For a picture, pin layout and part numbers used, see Post 9

Ok , sounds right. Just giving you a heads up. I almost bought the Euro type for my 2018 and realized you need extra wires and have different brake lights. Good luck

Thanks. I don't think the brake light is different on these, but yes turn signal is amber and not a standard blink

I ended up getting a refund for the lights from China since I found some used lights that ended up being not too expensive.
I've only received the center lights so far, but I have those connectors re-pinned and lights hooked up!

Finished! I ordered the set for the wife, so now I'll just have to sell at least one set of our Pre-LCI tail lights. They're in good condition so one set should just about pay for one of the swaps.
I added my own Pin diagrams also, if it ever needs to go back to stock it's mapped better (IMO). I have it done 2 different ways depending on what is easier to follow, but they're mapped the same. LCI Tail Light Part numbers - Left are the ones originally ordered, after the slash are alternate #'s Outer Left H3946304910 / H3946304908 Inner Left H3946305507 / H3946305506 Inner Right H4946305607 / H4946305606 Outer Right H4946305008
