Is it the same exact design just with the added connector?
Yes it (trinity) has perfect fitment in place of the OEM lens. The Bimmian product appears to be a darker smoked lens if that's the look you're after. Trinity's version is lighter, and was my preference. I was a little nervous about the splice, but I just wrapped the plastic pieces with some electrical tape and everything works and IMO, looks great!

EDIT: My sig pic is outdated so don't use that for reference!

At start-up, there is a period of about 10 seconds where the LED's strobe like every second at a dimmer output. Some people make a big deal out of it but it's really not

GET SMOKED!
Thanks Krozi,
I definitely need to fix what I got going on right now. Yellow :thumbsdown:
This sounds like the way to go, need to find some pics of the smoked vs clear on black.

Looks good. Looks much darker in the first pic, then the one on the car.

I just purchsed the smoked LED's from Trinity and they are awesome. They were about $20 cheaper then Bimmian, but require minor splicing with provided kit. Bimmian does provide a "plug and play" connector if you are concerned with the splice. But IMO, it was very easy and it truely is minor. Not worth the uplift in price IMO. Good luck!
+1 Just installed them in 10 minutes, including a clean, wax where the old ones were. Took me longer to find my crimpers! I got the light smoked ones, and they really look nice on TS--less contrast. Thanks Nerwyll and Joe @ Trinity. -Calvin
