I do - check my album. If you decide to go that route you can also add an LED stop bulb without needing extra resistors. And go through the link in my signature and you'll pick up an extra 1% rebate on ebay - it's only a few bucks ... but it's enough for one (small) cold one when you finish the install!

so if i purchase this i wouldnt get any errors? its just plug and play correct?
The additional LED stop bulb was purchased on ebay too - the seller's ID is premierteknet112222. It replaced the (one filament) stop bulb. An FYI, it was a red LED - behind the red lens; optically that permits higher visual output than a clear/white LED behind the same lens.

LCI tails and the correct cables are an option many have used. But the total cost is about $800 USD. I wasn't that serious and after discounts, Mr Rebates, etc the cost for mine came in @ about $200.
I'm OK with the look but also agree that the LCI look is very nice, too.
When I buy my next new BMW [maybe sooner than later] I'll replace the originals and sell these. I'm thinking I want to get something with a little more power or just different. May even consider a 3'er ... the 2 dr is looking mighty sporty ... the diesel is making me very curious ... Who knows
