hi guys need a little help here,i am trying to decide if i want to take the plunge on the BRUCE MIRANDA V6 Retrofit Cables and tail lights and i want to find out any negative and positives with this upgrade.and if possible lead me in the right direction to get a good price for them.i have a 06 530xi.thanxs any help would be appreciated. any info at all would be helpful.

 

negative is the price everything else is 100% positive no errors and easy install and look great

 

+1 what skunkd said. For a better price, you will have to find a used one.

 

The positive?

 

In the US, the adaptive brake / rear fog lights only turn on during ABS/DTC activation. Is this feature / effect lost with Bruce's cable? Will extended usage of the brake light (eg stop-and-go traffic) cause anything to overheat?

 

No. All functions are retained everywhere in the world.

 

Very cool. For a little more money - Bruce's cables seem to be the only way to go.

 

 

i wonder how reliable this upgrade is and what kind of warranty do you get? im still a little skeptical about it and want to know more before i jump into this.

 

My V6 cables come with a full (no questions asked) 12 months warranty. I myself have been running a V6 in my car for 2 years now without a problem at all. The V6 has been in general circulation since Oct 2008 and to my knowledge every one of them out there continues to work absolutely fine. The V6 is ofcourse the sixth version of my kits, I've been doing these kits since before the LCI cars were even on the road.

The cables are 100% plug and play so if you ever needed to visit BMW without the cables attached its a 10min job to swap the lights back to the old ones.
