hi everyone i found those on ebay which seem to be of a reasonable price, they claim they are plug and play and all the cables come with them, they mentioned nothing about not having any errors, but before i go any further and ring them and ask, i thought i should consult u guys to see if these would look as cool as the OEM ones or not

this is a dead horse topic that is covered like once a week
they will probably work but they will not act nor function like oem LCI lights, bruce miranda dedicated an entire thread to showing these types of lights and how he had to modify them to make them look closer to oem lci
honestly if you arent willing to spend the 1k on the real oem lci lights plus the cables to make them work with non lci cars then dont go this route, it never looks good from what ive seen

just been to their website, and to be honest from their pictures, i can tell that they won't look as good as they claim

I think they look pretty decent once they hae been modded to have the bars on brighter. I would use search to see some of the other threads before making your decision.

Bottom line is you will never be fully satisfied with them and every time you see an LCI e60 with the OEM tails you will almost wish you had a tarp to put over the back of your car as you drive by in sadness.

True. i often have to pull over on to the side of the road just to cry my frickin eyes out, haunted by the thought that my inferior aftermarket tail lights just don't measure up. I do think the therapy is starting to helping, though.

I think its also, If you have the money to spend, get OEM. If you dont want to spend the money for OEM, get this, Simple. No comparison.
