Tried to create shipping labels and apparently it appears USPS website is down today. Will ship them out tomorrow morning if the USPS online shipping website is back up.

Depsite USPS still down online for shipping labels, I had them shipped from the local post office.

As of now, there is 2 sets left in stock.

One of the member will let us know if it works on E60 with LCI, hopefully it works error free

with these cables you will need oem led lights...they are about $30 a side...

gio..i know those bulbs are still under warranty...call the vendor and see if he can replace them for you..you souldn't be getting error codes..might ave a bad resistor in the bulb..try switching left bulb to right..see if the error code follows the bulb...

Just tested...no error codes with LCI's either..will post comparison pics later tonight: OEM vs. Aftermarket LED's...


***one thing I noticed: the e60 light housing has black piece of plastic in the middle of the lens, the e90/92 light housing does not have this...so perhaps cutting that plastic piece off the e60 light housing will distribute the light better and brighter


OEM's are definitely more white, the aftermarket's have a hint of Blue to them...

Aftermarket LED (both)





R/Driver Side: OEM LED, L/Passenger Side: Aftermarket LED



OEM LED (both)







***No error codes with either. With the Aftermarket bulbs you can see the uneven distribution and blueish tint. Aftermarket Bulbs are brighter tho...
