Hello All,

I am so excited, yesterday I installed my LCI tail-lights with a retorfit kit from Germany, they are great, especially at night, love the new look, the best mod on the car so far

No faults or errors, they work just like on the LCI model, the only difference that I saw from members post that have bruce's kit is that when they brake the inner bulb lights up (just 1 bulb on the light), on the one I got both inner bulbs light up (as on the LCI model) and the led tubs light up a bit brighter when the brake is applied.

I installed the kit in about 30 min (the kit included an instruction manual) the best part is that the kit has a "life time warranty"

Will post pics today with a day view and later on tonight with a night view.

The cables alone are about ~$450/set, exchange rates suck. Probably around ~$800-900 for lights and cables. Not worth it to me, but they do look damn good.

The cables cost me 250euros (around 300 $) + shipping . A friend of mine from Germany found the company (the company is in Munich).

I'll go now and take some pics for you guys so you can see them with daylight, but the fun starts at night

Ok, done with the pics it's sunny outside and I don't have my camera with me, so the quality of the pics aren't excellent. I'll post more pics tonight, I will also post pics of the kit.

Can you post some photo about your cable kit? Beside this, any strobing while start engine?
