I know that this is propaganda, but you can see how the OEM LED lens is designed differently than the standard festoon. This picture is not mine, so I cannot vouch for any truthfulness

I just installed a set of the R Dash LED from Mike and I must say they look great! No errors. Simple PnP.

Mike from Autohaus was super easy to work with.

I tried the C's Bimmer method first, but the LED's in the OEM bulb mount gave an ugly striped light because of the lens. See below. The R Dash gave a bright even bath of pure white LED light. Bright enough to be eye catching, but not too bright as to look out of place.
Nice photos Eric and glad everything went through smooth as promised. Let me know when you're ready for those custom angel eye done by Luis

For anyone's that curious, these new plate lamps do not throw an error message - not even upon start-up or at any given time. The R-dash lamps have built in resistors just like the Euphoria 6k plate lamps.

We just received these new LED replacement lamps in stock. They're error free and fits both pre-LCI and LCI models.

The Rdash unit is a good unit. Saw it in Taiwan last week. It doesn't appear to give out any errors.

It's just not as bright as we wanted it, so we made one that is more pure white and brighter.

I can vouch for Mike's Euphoria 6k plate lamps from f1 autohaus. There's a slight strobe on start up for about 2 or 3 seconds, (looks kinda cool actually ) but then thats it, no error messages, nice unit.[attachment=100129SC00171.JPG]

I would like to see a comparison of the R Dash units vs. OEM LED's.
