i've seen plenty of places online that offer led tails for my e38. but i have a concern about the picture being shown, and the actual product that is being sold. also, some have said that the led potion needs to be seperately wired in, which isnt a big problem. can any of you guy give me some insight to which ones to buy? i dont want to buy some crappy ones.
i've looked up a few different online vendors that have the led tail lights i want. but which are selling crap, and who sells the good stuff? there's the delima. below are a few sites that carry what i'm going for at not so outragous prices. i want the red bottom, and clear top so it looks basicly stock.
i think i will be ordering from the first site i listed. they seem to be legit and have good parts. might have to do some wiring though, i'm good at electrical fabrication and mods though. i'll probably need to add a resistor to each circuit board since it has separate brake and running lights. maybe these will have that taken care of, hoping for a real plug and play product.
The tail lights on these cars are pretty simple, so I'm pretty sure even if you bought the cheapest lights, they would probably work for a very long time. The only thing I would be concerned about is that the LED tails would throw a "BRAKE LIGHT OUT" code on the OBC.
i've got the similar lights but clear smoke lenses... they work perfectly and look good. the wiring is pre-done to be installed in less than 15 minutes both sides. yes the brake light message comes on, maybe once a day for a second. i got used to ignoring it because they work fine.
