Cool, how much cost you to do this complete upgrade? Do you need to reprogram it after installation?

Taillights $468+$99 shipping from Ebay

Bruce Miranda cables were about $270

No coding and I installed it myself.

Lovely but....I did the same at different level of cost:-

Taillights (new Hella without BMW logo) US$230
Material for Ricky's design board US$16
Whole OEM cable set US$ 46

The price difference is huge even on taillights!

You should post where you got the tailights from then so everyone can buy them for cheap, Ill buy 12 sets and put them on ebay for double the price! Never mind you in Hong Kong they prolly fake Hella for $230

I dont have time to solder/install components onto a board then do testing............

How are you getting Genuine Hella or BMW tailights for $230? for both? So they cost you $115 each? If thats the price for a genuine BMW part then Honda tailights should be about $50! Here BMW has it for $256 each!

Where can you get taillights that cheap? You are probably confusing it with the knockoff LCI lights which don't compare...
