one of my Pre-LCI taillights is broken (hit the motorcycle backing into the garage) and i need to replace the set (why not). I am strongly considering these from ebay. can you post a few more pics please?

Daytime shots and night time shots would help a lot. i wonder how close they are to that LCI look, i know they bars dont wrap around all the way...but hey it is like 1/4 the cose of the LCI set-up...

also bruce, if you have a set sitting around, any chance you want to let them go for a decent price ($USD?)

thanks!

I don't have the lights yet, I believe I'm getting them in a week or so.
However, here are couple of more pics from Schmiedmann:

those actually look pretty nice. If not LCi those would be a great replacement.

Without Bruce's custom made cable, not sure if the light would look good at night since the rods aren't that bright comparing to the background light.

Actually the rods were pretty bright on that white E60, and he wasn't using any cables. However, I am not 100% sure that they were exactly the same tail lights as what I've ordered. By the way, they should be here tomorrow already.
