Isn't it ridiculous the people on ebay are charging $130-$160 for the cables, when you can get it from the dealer for $32 dollars?!?

how about installing the cables? this is going to be a tough job, dont u think? with bruce cables its plug and play, thats why he sells them at that price. just saying... unless there is an easier method. let me know, im looking to upgrade my taillights but just dont feel like paying much for the cable.

Its not hard to do this / running cables. I just want to make sure to get the right cables.

I am trying to go through cheaper route and not pay $$$ for cables. (even though I had v1, v3, v4, v5, v6 before). I was one of the first group that had the LCI tails through a group buy with some members here. And I got those tails back then for $420 shipped. Its funny how its more expensive nowdays.

There is a method to do the cheaper route but i'm still researching it before i pull the trigger for the materials.

Ii'm not understanding what your trying to do? Are you trying to go around purchasing Bruce cables and making your own cables? or are you doing a full LCI retrofit?

There is another method which member Ricky (He sells the LCI tails) does and its not bruces cable. You need these retrofit cables to plug it in. And I'm only doing the LCI tails. I am keeping my headlights since I just recently modded them with the Orion V2's and the Eurospec corner.

Pretty trying to make my own cables. LOL
