This is gone into the first production run. I will be getting a sample out to a couple of folks before I start taking orders and payments.
Any UK guys on the list who want to get their hands on the first few?

The real reason for the delay in rolling this out:
After a lot of consideration and having just produced the first batch of these I have decided NOT to sell this product. I know this will disappoint a few people but the fact that there are so many instances of LCI car's tail-light wires and plugs burning out doesn't help.
The last thing I want is for my customers to blame my product for causing the burn outs and BMW will be only too happy to point a finger in my direction should this happen to your car even though it has absolutely nothing to do with my product.
Having said that, if you are willing to take the entire risk on yourself and still wish to buy a set from the first and only batch that has and will be produced please contact me. The product has been tested and works very well but as I said, you take all the risks.

So what exact can happen to our wires?
If the price for your kit & " fix it" ( burning wires, etc.) = <few " hundred".
I will go for it!

Hey Bruce,
Sent you a PM about the cables
And regarding the burn issue, did you ever hear it happen to anyone with any of your cables or to the other people it happened with factory LCI lights only?

It's very tempting to sell a product when you know you have waiting buyers. But I'd better be safe than sorry, BMW would love to blame me for the issues.
