I finally got the v5.1 cables (thanks to Bruce) and installed them in less than 20min (thanks to Dav530d's previous DIY posts)

Thanks, i'm glad i did it. What makes it more exciting to look at is that it seems brighter than the pre LCI lights (i don't know maybe it's the same)

The Turn light (LED) and the LED rods are brighter than the lights on the pre-LCI.
