Just wondering how many of us on the forms have the euro spec tail lights, I am going to get one from some one Bruce pointed me too (Alex). but i was wondering if any one has gotten these from anyone else, if there are any issues not with Bruces stuff but with the actual tail lights.

Have not read or heard of US or Euro members complain/report problems with the actual euro spec lights, AFAIK they are OEM...so there would be no reason for problems...GL...

I have Euro LCI tails which I purchased from Alex and V4 Cables which I purchased from Bruce. I have had them installed in my 06 550 for approximately 4 months and they are working flawlessly with no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend both Alex and Bruce, both are honest stand up individuals.

if the US light have red indicators, then what colour are your LED side markers?
on euro cars they are amber up front and red at the rear.

If I have an '08 535i US Spec, could I just swap out for the Euro Spec Amber Taillights without the need for cables?

Thanks!
