I got these depot lights from USR and wanted to exchange them because of seal are uneven towards the edge of the tail lights. There is long black kind of strips towards the edge. It seems like black discoloration. This is at the edge that is supposed to be clear next to the 4 light bulbs as seen in the pictures. I tried to exchange them but denied because " all of their batches have the seal uneven towards the edge of the tail light set. Do you guys have same tail lights conditions. thanks

depo lights arrived
Just got my depo lights. Before I install them should I get the Bruce cables? For the ricky brake effect? Or just enjoy them the way they are. Do I need any special tools and what's my install time

if you had to ask, I would say install them and enjoy and make sure everything is functional. Then move on and do the brake light effects later by the write up or bruce's cables.

Well on the install does the wire harness on the depos need to come off bc looking at the directions its a Lil confusing but I'm not about to pay someone this time. I looked on utube for a video the one they had about Spyder lights didn't have the same harnesses so I just rigged my back up

Depo Taillights
Hi All,
As promised, attached are a couple of post install pics of the Depo LCI style taillights I installed on my 06 550i this past weekend. 4 nuts on each light, plug and play. Literally took minutes to install. No codes and no Bruce cables planned and the look is definitely an improvement over stock.

I used black adhesive velcro tape as the 3m tape was not working for me either. The bars appear a good deal brighter after dark.
