Check it out these pictures look pretty good...LED strips look OEM...no bruce cable needed and only $379 for the set. They seem like a really good set of replicas! I am currently in on a group buy for the v6 Bruce cable but I was wondering if anyone here has a set of these or knows someone who has a set and was wondering what they thought about them. BTW we still need a few more people on the group buy...here is the link if you are interested.

If you could do a swap to LCI "exact replicas" for $400...that would be quite a deal! Who will be the guinea pig?

i am not 100% sure, but i think these are the same lights that RedEyeJedi tested here: http://forums.5serie...1&#entry1069994

i think so because rear gear light is also on the top

that would be too good to be true if these lights were "exact" replica of OEM. so my opinion is that it is false advertisement unless someone else proves it's not

EDIT: if you look on Ebay link, the picture in the left top corner shows back up light on top of the light. The picture on the bottom right shows the OEM light, with the back up light in the bottom

For $450... shipping is $70. Ever since all that hype for the $200 pair of lights that turned out to be far from close to LCI, I've been skeptical of these replicas

One of the picture is FAKE. It is a picture of OEM LCI tails. The actual ebay lights are not like that. This seller got reported by other members from other threads that these types of ebay lights were shown.

If the lights that redeyejedi installed are the same ones that ebay is selling?then it is not worth it because they are not that bright, the difference between the brake lights and the LED bars are not as intense as the OEMs. Actually the LED bars do not even light up uniformly, the LED bars are brighter on each end and dull in the middle.

What do you guys think about this retrofit kit?looks very complex to install?.does it work?
