Default Bruce Cables 6.1L for 08+ (LCI)

I received my set of Bruce Cables 6.1L for 08+ LCI E60's.

Just like the pre-LCI cables, the break light is moved to the rear fog light. One thing to note is the LED rods do not get brighter upon braking like the 6.1 cables supposedly do. I was hoping they would but they just stay at a constant brightness level.

All in all they work well and are built rock solid just like all of the previous versions of Bruce cables.

I told Bruce I'd put up a review with pics etc. But I think a video does a better job at illustrating how they look/work.

Left side has the Bruce cable installed. The right side is stock.

Nice.

On the LCI cars the rods are also running at full brightness, thats the reason you don't see them do any brighter.

I guess its just a matter of time for the other LCI owners of the samples I sent out to confirm that all works fine. So far US, Canada and UK are working ok.

Curious as to why you didnt set the rods to a lower voltage then up the voltage when the brakes are pressed like the pre lci cables?

No purchase link yet. I just sent out the first few pieces to people who actually had purchased the V6.1 by mistake instead of the V6.1L. Their mistake turned them into the lucky few who received these initial sets.
