Hello! Just contacted Gary of Newport Bmw for LCI Taillight and was quoted $514. I'm redy to make this mod, can someone tell me where to purchase the wiring adapter because it does not come with it per Gary. My car is 2006 530i. Any help and guidance is well appreciated. Thanks.

Bruce is by far the guy to contact - I wired mine up myself and it was like a rave behind my car when I started it up with all the strobing. I was thinking, "put in capacitors or bite the bullet?"

I went for it, got them installed yesterday and I feel like I never have to think about it again. Best part it (well, not for all) is that you can play with the light configuration since it doesn't detect faults, so I took out the ridiculous looking circle lens bulbs - I really like the effect at night with only the LED 'tubes' as a taillight.

So you are driving without the brake bulbs?
