Guys,
I would like to upgrade my tail lights to the LCI's, I found this on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-5...item2a0737b705
Are these genuine OEM type lci tail lights?
Would these retrofit cables make them work without errors or strobing on my 04' 530i?
Please help!

I bought my LCI tail upgrades from that same seller. He's awesome to deal with.
At the time, he was selling them with the Bruce Miranda controller. I don't know about those controllers.
Praise is right though, those look sort of different. Maybe it's a different version by Hella? Maybe Hella made their own version that works on a BMW pre-LCI but not necessarily a BMW OEM version? Those look like a combination of the pre-LCI and LCI model. Ask the seller questions, he answered alot of mine right away when I dealt with him.
Other than that, that seems like a good deal.

His own retrofit kit which like Bruce V1 or V2 cable. Should only with 3 resistors inside to fool the computer. That's why no error code but with brake / tail light half on and the turn signal may flashing every 5 min.
