You would purchase the cables through Bruce, who is the person who started this thread. US Spec LCI tails can be purchased through Newport BMW. Perform a search on the forum and contact Gary. You may be able to find OEM Euro spec LCI tails on ebay. US Spec LCI tails have a red turn signal indicator, Euro spec has amber turn signal indicators. Good luck.

Hi Bruce!

I'm new here and I just want these lights for my 07/2005 E60. Could you please e-mail me the different wiring options and prices?

Thanks!!

I'm at the moment away on business but I've just heard from the manufacturer that assembly starts next week for the first batch but there is slight delay in the manufacturing of some of the mounting hardware. They need me back in the UK to do some measurements on the car.

Seems to be US DOT requirement as all late model cars for the past few years use red blinker...
To get Euro-spec tail lights you can find them mail order places try Google like RoverActive among others.
