Thanks everyone! These came from a fleabay vendor - I think there are now two or three vendors selling these on there now.
Here's a link to an example:

The brake lights are still lit along with the bars when the lights are turned on and the brake lights simply get brighter when braking correct? That was the big deal breaker for me. I wanted only the bars to be lit and the brake lights only lit when braking like OEM LCI tails.

Ross, it might be a personal preference thing, but I think the rods brightening at braking actually looks better.
When the LCI tails brake, you don't see the rods at all, which really takes the sexiness out of it. I am hoping that I can find the time to do Ricky's tail mod so that my rods
show even when braking.

1- If I get those replicas, will they work 100% on my 2005 E60?
2- Do they need Bruce's cables?
3- Are they plug and play?
4- TO GARY: Are these the ones you bought from this seller?
Thank you

2) No they need no other cables
3) yes they are exactly plug and play (you just don;t need the turn signal bulbs any more)

The turn signal bulbs in the lights are LED, so there is no need to reuse the ones you have.
I got mine from redEYEjedi, who did get them from that seller I think.

Im just worried those are not the same lights as the ones you bought (since there are tons of replicas out there). I want to have the same exact ones as you and gary to make sure they are upper class replicas and not the cheap ones.
Im gonna hit redEYEjedi a pm and Gary. Lets hope I get a quick reply.
Thanks again.
PS: did you do the mod? Is it possible to post pics of your tail lights as well. Night and day
