The last pics look closest to LCI. If I'm not mistaken, they are exactly like LCI with the exception of having chrome housing. I know LCI has chrome in the housing, but I think its only around the Angel Eye areas not the entire housing. Great find!!! Please folow up on this thread for us. THANKS!!!

They use CCFL angeleyes, super bright. They look more like Pre LCI lights with LCI indicator fins

Looks nice, aside from that chrome housing. Do you know if they have another version without the chrome housing? Keep us posted.

I get that they are made in Taiwan, with CCFL angel rings and white turning lights, error signal free and just plug and play.
The product appeared in a recent car accessories show in Taiwan.

Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps. They are the ones used on AE upgrades for the likes of E46, etc.

Does anyone know if it is possible to retrofit genuine LCI headlights to non LCI cars???

It is possible, but you will need a new module + LCI headlights + Programming at dealer
Which means will cost you an arm and a leg
