The connector used is designed to fit the rear tail light socket in the BMW X3 E83 LCI, allowing for plug-in installation without the need for custom adapters or wire soldering.

The wiring harness is factory-terminated with appropriate contacts, facilitating integration with the existing vehicle harness. This enables:

• compliance with the original BMW electrical schematic,
• reduction of voltage drops at connections,
• maintenance of the correct wire order in the lamp connector.
