What do you guy think of these LCI tail lights?
Ordered these set last Sunday. They arrived and installed today. Brand New PnP baby for a price you won't believe ($240). Tell me what do you guy think?
BTW.... they are not OEM but exact replica made by Depo... hahaha. Can be use on the LCI too. For Pre-LCI, they come with all the necessary adapters to make it work without any errors (as you can see those black boxes in my installed pic. My first night of playing with them, so will see in the long run. By far, worth the $240. OEM retrofit come pretty close to $1K haha
Now I have to figure out the Ricky's effect on these bad boy
Hmmm will Depo lights pay me commission for this..... haha doubt it

The black boxes look like a bit of a mess to be honest, but at that price it's well worth it! Only thing I'd say is if he's using the OEM rear bulb holder, then make sure you add an extra earth point to the bulb holder as the OEM earth connecter has too much resistance and can melt the connector
Good job though mate!

Yeah I know it look messy, but I just want to test them out. until I get the Ricky's brake effect mod, I will tidy those messy wires. Below are the the links, don't shoot the messenger haha, I'm just want a little taste of the LCI

if there are genuinely LCI compatible then you can always try my v6.1L cables to get the Ricky effect. But given that you only spent 240 on the lights, my cables at £130 GBP may not seem worth while even while I sell them at a loss.

If you look carefully at the connector to the bulb holder (the part that separates from the rest of the tail light), it looks like they used the OEM one - this looks to be the case by looking at the wires going to the connector on the bulb holder (one column of 4 and one of 3).
Can get a picture of mine if you want to confirm, but if it is true and the wires are all in the same place, then Bruce's cables should work with no mods needed to give you the sexy Ricky effect! Perfect to finish off your back end nicely!
