Zagato:

The license plate lights are LED lights (from the same seller from which I bought the lci tail-light kit)

550$ for euro tail-lights, is a really good price, (550$ is around 415 euros), I searched in germany and didn't find anything under 500 euros... (maybe I searched in the wrong place).

I spoted a pair on ebay.de a while back, they were used, and the guy was asking 380 or 400 euro + S/H, for an extra 90 I preffered to buy them new from my local dealer.

Hello all!!

Sorry for this delayed reply.... I just received my second set of adaptors for a friend of mine. I took advantage of his kit and took a couple of pics for those of you that requested them.

The cost this time was around 225 euros incl s/h.

Mine work just fine since I installed them, will install this set on my friends car tonight

Zagato, what is the red wire for? Isn't it just plug n play, or did it require routing the red wire to a specific location?

Zagato, I'm very sorry, but nobody needs your DIY & pics of LCi taillights, we know how they looks like & that it's not very hard task to disconnect/connect two adaptors
Could you just advise us supplier of this retro-fit kit please... It's the third page of your topic but still no supplier contacts... Thanks for understanding!
