Oh OK thanks. Hey how close to OEM are they. I was just behind a 535 an hour ago and it seemed like the light bars we're at a more of a higher angle from the lower inner corner to the outer upper do you know what I mean. Are the number of light bars the same?

quanger - what you doing with fakies...only acceptable fakies are on a girl's chest. JK bro, they look really good for that price. I couldn't even tell until you mentioned DEPO.

Just finished hacking the connectors to get the Ricky brake effect. So damn sexy now thanks to ricky
you're the man.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the 20w25ohm resistors, so I substituted them with the 10w25ohm instead. The lights mod works, but I get errors. I were wondering if I can replace them with the 4700uf capacitors like I did on the fog lights to cancel the errors. Or the second option is to code it out.
Penny for your thought!!!!
Thanks Bruce, I were so tempted to get your cable. But, it is fun to DYI and plus I'm somewhat under a gun haha.
The fitment is about 98%, but with a little tweak, I can make it 100% easily.
I might be wrong, but the bulb holdes and the connectors are looking me oem. I followed Ricky's mod to the T, the wires layout in the connectors are the same.

To me they look the same, until I can compare side by side with OEM set, then I can tell you if they are or they are not. By doing the Ricky's mod, I follow his exact methods, pin to pin, wire to wire etc...

So even though you got the depo tails you still need the Ricky cables? I thought the depo tails were plug and play no mods needed unless I read the post wrong

Ok excuse me for being a short bus rider but if get these depo tails for my 07 550i pre LCI they will light up just like the LCI 535 I saw earlier tonight.. when she hit her brakes I could see her bars light up nicely but if I want the super nice light up I need to add these Bruce cables to the depos?
