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.

Would love to pick up a set of LCI tail lights. Just not worth it to me though. Looks good. 
+1 the new LCI lights are sweet...especially the Euro Version...I just still cant justify the cost of almost $1k for replacing rear lights.
Maybe by this time next year we'll see a price drop
then Ill pull the trigger
