looks like that ebay seller is using his pic...hope luigi knows....

Actually way back when I told him it was OK to use the pic ... Should I ask for a photo credit or cash

This one shows the 9-LED brake lamp that I added - no additional resister was needed! It isn't the same as LCI but doesn't require any special cables or resisters. No error messages when installed!

I've also silvered the amber turn signal bulb to reduce the egg yolk look.

I know that the best way to go is OEM, but what is the deal with these LED taillights on EBAY? Do they give the same effect as the OEM Hella LCI taillights? It seems like the seller is covering his behind by saying that it might not be plug and play and there might be some reprogramming involved. Will a Bruce cable do the job? I want to retrofit the LCI LED taillights on my 06 525I but not really sure if I should go this route. I have a funny feeling I am not going to be happy with this look. The 3 led bars do not even appear to light up! I believe the OEM taillights have 5 LED bars, right? Has anyone purchased these or know someone who has??? What was their experience, cheap knock-offs?
