I agree $400 for cables is crazy.
When the lights look this great, its totally worth it!

be that as it may...I'm sure these cables don't cost more than $50 to produce...I've always felt the need to help out my fellow community. I used to install angel eyes for fellow E46 owners for FREE...The mark up on these cables is absurd

When you really think about it, its a small fraction compared to the OEM retrofit. Especially since you have to get cables and then get dealer programming, and get the LCI headlights too.

Maybe I should start calling my cables something fancy like "Retrofit Light Control Modules" or something and then people will consider them worth it. Many people really think I'm selling them a bit of modified wire, there is a heck of a lot of electronics in each of these things.
For those who think the retail price is expensive, the E60 exclusive Group Buys represent excellent value. People who bought in the first GB got their cables for almost $210 but then the take up for later GBs was poor. I don't mind have another GB if there is enough of interest again but I doubt it.

Bruce no doubt ur cables are top notch quality. I'm a wiring guy myself (see above, I've retrofitted angel eyes on to cars many times), the quality of your kits are great and the time and effort you put into designing them shows. However, you said the V6 cables are now being mass produced by another company (IE you are no longer producing them by hand). Myself and others thought that this would result in quite a price drop, however, instead it resulted in a price increase...

All this cable talk. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The cables are the best you can get. No one is questioning the quality and the time spent on them! They are amazing looking and performing cables! All that said 400+ is too high imo. If i could get a set of v6 cables for $210 i would do it.
To the OP - A lot of interested people when it comes to lci tails. Posting a picture would almost guarantee a sale within 24 hours.
