Hi All,
A quick question: Wherever I look around, esp in the DIY section- there is a lot of ambiguity in the whole tail lamp upgrade procedure from non-LCI to LCI. There doesnt seem to be a one-stop, easy solution for this. As in- is there a place where I could simply go (pref in the NY,NJ, PA area) and purchase the lamps with control unit, pref a plug-n-play system and do an easy install? There are several talks about failures such as flickering lamps at times due to control unit, etc. Where would you guide / suggest me?
THanks in advance!

Most simple way is to buy the LCI taillights and then the retrofit cables from Bruce_Miranda from the UK. Plug and play with no errors or strobing.

Sorry mate but this is probably one of the most UNambigious subjects, everything is crystal clear regarding the LCI tails upgrade. And it's all on the surface.

If you're only interested in LCI taillight upgrade, then this is most straight forward way to go about it. A group buy is in progress as we speak.
