Thats one thing i didn't like about the E60 I really wish it came with LED.. Almost every other model has it :thumbsdown:

E60 was originally supposed to come with LED. From the US E60 dealer training materials, pre-launch:

E60 tail-lights-picture_1.png

I converted all lamps (brake/park/turn, front and rear) to LED, using extremely high brightness LED retrofits. I had tried other retrofits with limited success, and have been working on this for a while now. I finally found a combination of excellent appearance, and enough brightness and light output.

See post #40 in this thread:

Make *sure* you're looking at post #40, because there were a couple of other posts by me with different LED retrofits that weren't nearly as good. Actually, I think it even looks better than the results on some BMW models where LEDs are stock.
