I had these lights before getting the OEM LCI ones. Only left them on my car for a couple months. The CCFL tubes in them get washed out by the bulbs behind them because both act as running lights. You can probably modify the light to operate more like an LCI light if you know what you are doing though. They look similar to OEM LCI as long as you do not turn them on, notice where the reverse light is located, notice the length of the CCFL tubes, notice the number of LEDs on the side or the number and size of pyramid dimples running along the bottom. Save up and get the real thing bro.

just get oem lci brand new they are about 500 for a pair( if you know of a indy that has a good relationship with the dealer)
that is how much i got mine and then just have nomis_nehc retrofit and coded for you...
good luck
So (re)coding can eliminate the need for Bruce's cables with LCI tails on pre LCI ? really ?

but there is another version of Bruce's cable that does need coding which is cheaper than the original one that Bruce designed.

Hah.

Don't worry guys, I was never seriously considering those things.
I had just never seen them before.. Came across them totally out of the blue.
