I just won these LCI taillights off ebay!! It costs 285pounds + Shipping to HK, it wasnt the cheapest but it costs only 1/6 of the original (At least am happy)
What i need now is to get Bruce's retrofit kit to make it work in order to get rid of the strobing and error codes.

yes slick50 is a better known brand but allegedly clogs oil filter, there are others on the market that claim to work better.
