BMW 5 Series G30 / G38 / F90 M5 Clear Black Venom Custom Taillights (2017-2020)

Description

BMW 5 Series G30 Tail Lights — Black Venom Style (G30 / G38 / F90 M5, Pre-LCI)

Upgrade your 2017-2020 BMW 5 Series with these handcrafted custom BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights. Each set is meticulously modified from genuine OEM used tail light cores, then upgraded to an aggressive Black Venom style with a crystal-clear lens paired with a deep black inner housing. The result is a sharper, more modern G02-LCI-inspired rear-end look that transforms the back of your 5 Series while keeping a fully factory fit and finish. Looking for a BMW F90 M5 tail light upgrade or a custom rear-end for your G30 sedan? Our BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights are built specifically for the pre-LCI G30 / G38 global short and long-wheelbase sedans and are fully interchangeable with the high-performance F90 M5 of the same pre-LCI generation.

Why Choose Our BMW 5 Series G30 Custom Tail Lights

• 100% Plug & Play — Direct fit on the original mounting points and original BMW connectors, no BDC coding, no ISTA adaptation, and no wire splicing required on US-spec G30 / G38 / F90 vehicles equipped with the factory LED tail lamps.
• BMW 5 Series G30 Custom Taillights, Done Right — Built on original used BMW tail light housings, not cheap aftermarket replica shells. That means factory-accurate mounting geometry, original gasket profiles, and a clean OE appearance from the inside out — exactly what serious BMW 5 Series G30 custom taillights buyers expect.
• No More Condensation — Cheap aftermarket LCI-style tail lights from other sellers are notorious on Bimmerpost for collecting moisture inside the lens within months of install. Our BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights are fully resealed with a professional-grade automotive sealant at the factory joint, pressure-tested, and visually inspected before shipping — so the foggy-lens problem does not come back.
• BMW 5 Series Black Tail Lights Look — Crystal-clear outer lens paired with a deep black inner bezel. The blackout interior creates the G02-LCI-inspired premium look that BMW 5 Series Black tail lights buyers want, giving your G30 / G38 the modern rear-end styling without the full LCI retrofit cost.
• G30 / G38 / F90 M5 Compatible — Built on the same OEM tail light housing used across the G30 global short-wheelbase, G38 China long-wheelbase, and F90 M5 pre-LCI platforms. One set works on all three configurations with no extra harness.
• Factory Seal Quality — Each unit is pressure-tested and visually inspected before shipping to prevent moisture, fogging, or condensation.
• 1-Year Warranty — Covers manufacturing defects only. Does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, or unauthorized modifications.

Compatibility

Looking for BMW 5 Series G30 Clear tail lights that keep the original factory LED load profile while adding a sharper, blackout-themed rear end? These modified BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights are designed to fit:

• BMW 5 Series G30 (pre-LCI) — 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 — 530i, 540i, 530e, 540e, M550i, 530d, 540d, M Sport

• BMW F90 M5 (pre-LCI) — 2018, 2019, 2020 — M5, M5 Competition, M5 Pure (uses the same outer housing as the G30 pre-LCI, with the M5 sequential module preserved). The BMW F90 M5 tail light mounts in the same position and uses the same connector as the G30.
• Plug type: US / EU / CN versions have different connectors — please confirm your market version with us before shipping so we send the correct harness.

Important — Please confirm before ordering:

• This listing is for the pre-LCI G30 / G38 / F90 tail light housing only. The 2020+ LCI facelift BMW 5 Series uses a completely different tail light shape and is not compatible with this listing.
• The G30, G38, and F90 M5 of the same pre-LCI generation all share the same outer tail light housing, so one fitment covers all three.
• Plug type varies by region (US / EU / CN). Confirm your market version before ordering so we ship the correct connector.

BMW 5 Series G30 Tail Lights Installation

Our BMW 5 Series G30 tail light upgrade is designed for a hassle-free installation. The process takes roughly 30-60 minutes per side with basic hand tools:

1. Open the trunk and remove the side trunk trim panels to expose the tail light mounting bolts.
2. Unplug the factory harness connector and remove the mounting bolts.
3. Carefully pull the OEM tail light straight out of the body.
4. Transfer any region-specific bulb holders / control modules to the new housings if applicable.
5. Seat the new BMW 5 Series G30 tail light, reinstall the bolts, reconnect the harness, and test all functions (running light, brake, turn signal, reverse, sequential module if equipped) before reassembling the trim panels.

No BDC coding, no ISTA adaptation, no module re-flashing, and no wire splicing is required on US-spec G30 / G38 / F90 vehicles that came with the factory LED tail lamps. The BDC recognizes the original LED load profile and flags zero fault codes out of the box.

Quality Promise

Each pair of BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights is hand-assembled by experienced craftsmen using only original OEM tail light cores. We pressure-test every sealed unit and visually inspect every finished lens before it leaves our workshop, so the lights arrive ready to install and built to last.

Important Note — Please Read Before Purchase: Each set is handcrafted from genuine USED OEM tail light cores (not new aftermarket shells, not replicas). Because every used core starts with different wear patterns, age-related micro-scratches, slight color variations, and minor cosmetic differences from years of prior use, no two sets are exactly identical. Slight variations in housing tone, internal finish, surface patina, or material aging are inherent to the handmade, used-core nature of our product — these are not quality defects and not grounds for return or refund. We pre-inspect every core, seal every unit with professional-grade sealant, and guarantee function.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Will these BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights get condensation like other aftermarket LCI lights?

No — and that is exactly the complaint we built this set to solve. The cheap aftermarket LCI-style tail lights sold by other vendors on eBay and AliExpress are notorious on Bimmerpost for collecting moisture inside the lens within weeks of install, because they are mass-produced with thin glue seals that fail at the first thermal cycle. Our BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights are built on genuine OEM housings and resealed at the factory joint with a professional-grade automotive sealant that does not shrink, harden, or fail with age. Every unit is pressure-tested before it leaves our workshop, so the foggy-lens problem you see reported on other aftermarket LCI lights does not happen on our set.

Do these BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights work without BDC coding?

Yes — on US-spec G30 / G38 / F90 M5 vehicles that came with the factory LED tail lamps, our BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights install as a true direct plug-and-play replacement. The original connector pins line up, the lighting functions (running light, brake, turn signal, reverse, sequential module if present) work the moment the harness is reconnected, and no BDC coding, no ISTA adaptation, no module re-flashing, and no control-module re-coding is required. We have confirmed this against multiple Bimmerpost owners who were worried about the BDC errors you see when swapping to cheap aftermarket LCI tail lights — every test came back with zero BDC fault codes after the install.

Do these BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights fit the G30, G38, AND F90 M5?

Yes — the BMW G30, G38, and F90 M5 of the pre-LCI generation all share the same outer tail light housing shape, so these BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights fit all three configurations with no extra harness or adapter. Standard G30 530i / 540i, China long-wheelbase G38 525Li / 530Li / 540Li, and the F90 M5 (including M5 Competition) all use the same mounting points, the same connector, and the same reverse-light pocket. Just confirm your build year is pre-LCI (2017-2020) before ordering.

Are these BMW 5 Series G30 tail lights plug and play?

Yes — they are designed to be a direct-fit, plug-and-play upgrade. The connectors are the original BMW plug types, the mounting bolt positions match the factory holes, and the gasket profile lines up with the body. There is no wire cutting, no wire splicing, no pin re-pinning, and no extra wiring harness required to make them work. As long as your G30 / G38 / F90 is a US-spec sedan originally equipped with LED tail lamps, the install is bolt off, swap, bolt on, reconnect. The same applies whether you are upgrading regular G30 or BMW 5 Series G30 Clear tail lights for the F90 M5 — both plug straight into the original BMW harness with no module work.
