The LEDs are rated as 12V and no matter what I do, I cannot supply more than 12Vs to the LEDs. So they are absolutely fine - they are just being fed with a full 12V instead of a chopped voltage feed.

Bruce, I want to do the LCI taillights upgrade on my 05 525(and eventually the headlights). You only sell the wire harness, but not the actual tail lights correct? And for a harness set that does not have the built in "Ricky" effect (I guess that is the flickering effect), how much will it run me?

I appreciate the info.

Thank You,
Patrick

Patrick, I can source the EU lights for you. The Ricky effect is where the Brake light is moved to the circle (fog) bulb. There is no flickering on any of my kits.

The first set of cables have all now been booked for collection by DHL for tomorrow morning.

The introductory price is now not available anymore unless there are another 20 people interested in the V6.1 cables.
