I really want to get my hands on those tail lights and I want that bad azz look to. I just got the shift knob that's in the new bmw the joy stick one. It's so phat. Off www.bimmian.com it's called the 2014 look shift knob. $129 shipped and lights up... but rockauto.com and carparts.com have a lot of stuff... I was told to get the LCI tails from the 2008 528i. Perfect fit just need the cables. I see them on carparts.com for about $160 - $185 each. I ordered my rear 550i sport mtech bumper from rockauto.com for $226 killer deal. Now I'm just trying to find a nice quad diffuser be for I convert to quad exhaust. But carparts.com also has the headlights with the bars on the side all clear. From the 2008 528i also. I keep saying the 2008 528i bc they are cheaper than the 09 and above. You you check out those sites

Anyone else go through with the purchase? Want LCI tails but the cable etc is too expensive.

I would like to see the tail light up with the cables and without the cables

This Depo set are plug and play (OEM looks). You will only need the Bruce cable adapters if you buy OEM tail lights and also want the Ricky Brake mod.

Here it is: Left, OEM when braking. Right, braking with the Ricky mod, notice the 2 bulbs on the left are no longer lit up on the right, and LED rods the fog light (the round light) are now using as brake lights

Oh ok. Wow what a diff. So the 2 bulbs on the left drown out the bars. I'll take the ones on the right

So with the depos I'll need to figure out how to get the ricky affect? Why can't I just take out the 2 bulbs? I was behind another bmw with the tails with the bars. They looked nice going down the highway but I didn't see the car brake.

error.... error... ding dong haha.... you will not get any brake lights haha... that why you have to move the wires to the round fog lights, and add resistors and diodes to cancel the errors to make sure the lights work correctly

star69me

Got it. Now I need to find someone who knows wiring

The lights are still a huge upgrade even without the Ricky effect. That's just a added bonus I'm def gettihg them probably next week And I'll try to find a set of used cables down the road and hope they work on these aftermarket lights If they don't. the lights still look oem
