As the title suggests, has ANYONE installed the Umnitza LED LCI taillights? What's your experience been? How's the build quality?

Thanks - this will likely be one of my first mods....

 

do you need the plug from Bruce or you will get an alarm? on i-drive. also how much?

here is the tread. cross referenced.

 

This is what I saw:
http://www.umnitza.com/product_info.php?cP...roducts_id=1169

is it not the same ? Price says $249...
or is it a completely different look?

Thanks

 

looks same to me.
i would get it and let me know how it goes.
then i can get it.
249$ seems like a good price.
I might just order mine via American Express Card then.
Cuz if they don't stand behind their word, A/X will hold up on my behalf.

thanks man.

 

Wait..I think I know the difference now.
The one for $249 has individual bulbs.

The Hella ones for $549 have the 'tube' look which is really OEM...

Looks like there are no inexpensive sources!

People have referred me to some specific forum members for help but does anyone have a website link I can go to buy other than Umnitza?

 

These two sets of lights aren't the same. The second link is for LED lights only, which don't come on the LCI cars and don't give you the LCI look. If you want the most late model lights you'll need to buy them from either Garry Romani at BMW of New Port Rhode Island in the US:

gromani@bmwofnewport.com (make sure you tell him you're an e60 member so you'll get a 25% discount)

OR Alex who's in Germany and sells European lights:

bmw-chromteile@web.de

 

Anand,
Thanks for this. What can I expect to pay for these lights from Garry, and from what I understand I need to buy a separate wiring harness - right?

 

lights will be 400$ plus shipping
cable 195 UK pound = 400$ = 800$ plus shiping about 850$ ballpark sounds right.
