I was wondering if anyone had info on the newer LED taillights for the E60. I found these but I'm not sure if they are a good price: http://www.modbargains.com/product.aspx?pf...LEDTails_E60_PR
Thanks.
Thanks.

These sound great, do you know what color the turn signals are? I'm looking for these taillights with Amber turn signals.

Those look very interesting if they are aftermarket lights. However I would trust them better if they had real pictures instead of putting up ones from the Hella promotions.

Aren't those the actual new LCI lights? What exactly are these lights?

Interesting...
Did anyone else find this statement to be humorous?
"LEDs illuminate instantly, as opposed to a slight "fade on" with halogens, so when you hit your brakes, the lights come on instantly. In turn, this can create a significant amount of extra stopping room for the driver behind you due to their quicker reaction time and avoid any possible rear-ending accidents."
I mean, when was the last time you drove behind someone with 'non-fade lights' and remarked, 'boy those lights didn't fade on -- that 5 millisecond time difference just saved my life!"
Either the marketing people didn't pass this by legal or there is no 'legal review' for this company. I see a lawyer or two chomping down on the last part of the last sentence.

Strange! When you look at those three pics at the bottom, the first one really looks like the genuine LCI tail light (Which is great if someone finally made it),
but the second pic just look like the usual ebay aftermarket LED light with the brake on (and doesn't look like LCI taillight!)
Not sure anyone spot that? Or is it just my problem??
