Oh OK thanks. Hey how close to OEM are they. I was just behind a 535 an hour ago and it seemed like the light bars we're at a more of a higher angle from the lower inner corner to the outer upper do you know what I mean. Are the number of light bars the same?

quanger - what you doing with fakies...only acceptable fakies are on a girl's chest. JK bro, they look really good for that price. I couldn't even tell until you mentioned DEPO.

Just finished hacking the connectors to get the Ricky brake effect. So damn sexy now thanks to ricky you're the man.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the 20w25ohm resistors, so I substituted them with the 10w25ohm instead. The lights mod works, but I get errors. I were wondering if I can replace them with the 4700uf capacitors like I did on the fog lights to cancel the errors. Or the second option is to code it out.
Penny for your thought!!!!

Thanks Bruce, I were so tempted to get your cable. But, it is fun to DYI and plus I'm somewhat under a gun haha.

The fitment is about 98%, but with a little tweak, I can make it 100% easily.

I might be wrong, but the bulb holdes and the connectors are looking me oem. I followed Ricky's mod to the T, the wires layout in the connectors are the same.

Yes they are fakies, but sexy fakies haha

To me they look the same, until I can compare side by side with OEM set, then I can tell you if they are or they are not. By doing the Ricky's mod, I follow his exact methods, pin to pin, wire to wire etc...

So even though you got the depo tails you still need the Ricky cables? I thought the depo tails were plug and play no mods needed unless I read the post wrong

Yes they are PnP, They came with all the connectors and adapters (like Bruce's cable V1) to make them look like OEM LCI. But I also want the Sexy Ricky Brake Effect mod, which Bruce V6.1 sold solely for those who have the LCI cars or already have succesfully installed the LCI lights in the Pre-LCI car, and thus want the Ricky effect.

Ok excuse me for being a short bus rider but if get these depo tails for my 07 550i pre LCI they will light up just like the LCI 535 I saw earlier tonight.. when she hit her brakes I could see her bars light up nicely but if I want the super nice light up I need to add these Bruce cables to the depos?

I guess I'm lost with this ricky brake affect

quanger

Ricky brake mod is the moving the brake light to the inner round light (rear fog light) and the LED rods. The 2 existing bulbs behind the rods are deleted and no longer light up, which let you see just the beautiful sexy rods not being washed out by the existing brake bulbs. Therefore, by doing this mod, when you hit the brake, with or without the headlights on, you will only see the rear round fog lights and the LED rods light up. Angel wings on my tail

Oh ok. now sign me up! So I need those tails but my angel rods will be drowned out until I get Bruce cables... got it!
