Here's a tip on how to kill time till I post the install pictures:
check out MFEST's "Totally NSFW" thread.

For any of the ladies.. (Alpine White Girl) maybe there's something there that might catch your eye anyways. LOL

Tinted for sure! Just knock on wood so the lights actually do work. I can't imagine them not working because I don't think a company would market lights and go through the trouble of manufacturing a light that does not work or needs additional parts to properly function.
Bruce Miranda hasn't had any opinions about these lights either which comes to a surprise seeing that this is the most popular thread, on the topic of what he specializes in.

Honestly if the lights look good I probably wait for a group buy, I'll just order them.
Yeah.. I'll probably do the same. Don't want them to run out
As to was AWG said, I agree 100%. LCI tails look nice, but don't justify me spending $1000.

Well they have 20 now. I don't think that 20 is all that they're ever going to make. So I guess you can buy them now if you have to have them right away. If they sell well though, I'm sure a lot more will be coming in the next couple of weeks, each time probably cheaper with each group buy. You've waited 3 years already (since LCI came out) - what's another couple of weeks?

Hey no problem TakmaN, and if anything .. thanks for saying thanks
This forum has been great so far, so I figured this is just one small way for me to give back to the rest of the community.
1.5 hours left till I'm off!

Yes, reverse lights were relocated to the top innermost corner respectively for each side.

Another couple of weeks could be the risk of not getting them at $200. Is an extra $20 off worth more than the peace of mind that you purchased the lights at such an opportune time?

My Ride: '07 550i
To be (brutally) honest, I was very close to pulling the trigger on some Bruce cables (did you all see he had a sale due to overruns?) and the LCI lights from Newport BMW (Garry had already sent me the quote).
Then..voila!...this post appeard and I had to jump on them. It was destiny, I imagined.
As for the numbnuts who thought this would make the cars look 'ricey', I have swapped out the tails on my convertible Corvette to LED's (a couple years ago), and rice is farthest thing from its look. I have high expectations on these for my 550i. BTW, mine is black, but I didn't go with smoked. Sorry Alpine White Girl... ;-)
