Is anyone else paying for the lights through Bauer?

Or is it just ed1347 and me?

Today I believe is the final day for payment, I think pricing goes up to 375 eu now.

Bruce,

Do you have an updated picture of your V6 cables? I saw something on the E61 site are they identical?

E61 cables http://forums.e60.net/index.php?act=attach...t&id=101552

Enclosure is the same, cables and plugs are very different.

Bruce,

I do believe those are prettier than the E60 itself.

I am looking forward to receiving mine thru group buy #3.

I don't really care, as long as it works, then thats fine by me, beside you don't show it to anybody anyway! but i do care about how the lci light will look, don't know if it'll look like OEM items.

I thought the LCI light through Heiko was OEM EU version. It may not illuminate the exact same way the LCI car does but its the same light. Bruce?

In the US it will look exactly like OEM LCI in the EU its slighly different because of where BMW positioned the BFD on the pre-LCI cars in Europe. So in normal braking you will get one Brake light but on heavy braking you will get both. I've moved the Brake light in the EU to the middle to make it look more OEM. Its the closest you'll get on a pre-LCI car without a new LCM and programming.
