I think someone from the forum should buy it and let us know, so I would the first person who started the topic


Actually, a few members have them. I believe "pingu" and "k wang" have bought these LEDs and installed on their cars awhile back.

Here is a link to one of them on ebay, you can see from the pictures that the light pattern is different from the LCIs. Also the location of the reverse light is up next to the turn signal. OEM has it at the bottom.

For the LCI's, is it mandatory to have the bruce cables? or you just have to suffer Error/strobing?

The plug is different between pre-LCI and LCI.
