I don't understand how most of the people slamming on these ebay lights don't even get their information right before they say anything.

And is there even any dead horse left to beat??

We get the point, aftermarket lights/cables are $500, and the OEMs/cables are $1000, either way its not cheap but for crying out loud, you drive a BMW, nothing is going to be cheap, even if prices depreciate.

Can we just appreciate that Bruce took his time, money and effort to develop cables to improve the ebay lights and either buy them or not?
I think most of these individuals are just pissed that these eBay lights werent around when they spends $1000 on those OEM . ROFL

Specially now with the release of Bruce's cables that make them look so much better, you really get your bang for the buck with these lights. Sad I can't say the same for the OEM...but to each its own.

How about $496.94 for OEM Hella LCI Tails (Euro Spec) or $826.93 with Bruce's cable(shipping included).

Non-OEM LCI tails are IMHO.

I paid $780 for my LCIs and V6s from Bruce (with the Dec special Bruce was offering). All I'm sayin is if your gonna spend over $500 for these, why not just pay the rest your already in pretty deep for tailights LOL!

Anyone else interested in cables for these lights. Now that the two initial sets are out and they prove they work well, I'll start talking further orders.

they look decent, but the neon bars look like there are air bubbles in them.
