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??
+1 something is fishy going on here.
I would just look and not buy you just dont know which 1s you will get.

Guys I think you are confusing two different types of LED tails for the E60. This picture below is of the HELLA version which is different from the Ebay ones you see.



The HELLA ones are more expensive but are also closer to the OEM setup.

These ones below are the more aftermarket verisons which are a bit cheaper and have a different LED setup. The main difference is that they use individual LED lights for both the parking and brake lights rather than the long strips you see on the HELLA.

Hehe that you are right. They tend to copy and paste information from the manufacturer without actually handling the product so you have to be careful.

We stock and regularly work with a variety of these lighting manufacturers, including the ones for the E60 LEDs, so it's easier to be well versed in the product.

So how much is the Hella version? and how it will look like with the brake on?(any pics?)
Is it a plug and play item and no error message?

cheers

The HELLAs run $549.99 and are 100% plug and play- no need for reflashes.
