Gang,

I'm looking to replace the tail lights on my 06 pre-lci 550i with LEDs and am looking for suggestions as to the best quality lights as well as those that are closest to the LCI OEM version in terms of look/performance.

Your input/guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks, Ed

You basically have two(2) choices available for your car.

1. Oem Lci taillights (USA - Red Turn Signal, UK - Orange Turn Signal) connected using Bruce's Cables V6 or 6.1 for Ricky brakelight effect.

2. Sonus E60 taillight. Aftermarket, but a nice economic step that improves the look vs preLci tails. These are available from several vendors and at different price points. The smoked ones are very nice looking.

Thanks, was considering the OEM LCI solution with Bruce cables but have been unable to locate a source via the Web which is why I'm now looking at aftermarket options.

They are (usually) not required.
