Im deffo interested in buying these cables in a group buy,
i also agree with jules that its great that bruce has put his energy into this,
aftermarket lamps are available for the fronts with projectors for many bmw's but not for the e60,
ive got a complete pair of xenon headlamps for the fronts but have not been able to come across anyone in the UK who can fit them for me, and i dont want to mess around with wires myself, ive come across info on forums such as this but nothing definative.
i hope bruce starts work on the fronts soon, or a kit to retro fit oe xenon headlamps to halogen cars

Since they are now being mass produced, would I be right in suspecting a massive price drop?

These are still not yet being mass produced. Sure they are being produced in slightly larger quantities but still being manually put together in the UK and not in China etc. The difference is that I'm not doing these anymore and so should be able to satisfy demand better. They will work out slightly cheaper in larger quantities but the parts and components being used have all been upgraded as well and its actually cancelling out any massive price drops.

Joining the Group Buy will be the best value option at the moment. There is one on right now http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=75973

I am really confused on what this V-whatever does for the light? And my searching power is not all that great in me so please if anyone has a picture, send it this way for an example of what all this is about.

the V6 is a newer version of the wire harness adapter that allows you to put the newer led tailights, on the older cars(pre-2008).

These look great, I'm happy with my v4
That's what I had and felt until v5, then I switched. Now he's got me thinking about v6. And I'm sure it'll happen again when v7 arrives.
