One more MOD .. LED Tails

[LightWerkz]

Probably should have confirmed this earlier, but how come all the ads say up to 2005, not 2006, did they change something?

I am assuming just an error in the listings, but I wanted to double check.

Whats the difference between the sonar ones and theese.? Find 2000-2005 BMW X5 E53 R/S LED TAIL LIGHTS 2002 2003 2004 on eBay Global Buying, with worldwide deals on items in all your top categories


Theese have led turn signals, and the sonar not.?

These are the Sonar lights. They don't have LED "turn signals" (the picture from the link is show with out any light bulbs for the turn signals, you can see the whole inside the white lens for you to plug in the bulb).

Only the "Park" and "Brake" light are LEDs.

This is cut out from the text in the advert.


"
100% Brand new merchandise sold in the original packaging.
The tails are priced in a pair (Left & Right).
Full-functional L.E.D. tail lamp with L.E.D.'s in all functions such as running light, brake light, and turn signal.
PC designed full linked boards ensure longer lifetime and reliable performance.

That got to mean that the turn signals are indeed led.?

May be they include a pair of LED light bulb for the turn signals?!

There's definitely an error in the ads. A couple of reasons come to mind: (1) 2004-2006 have a different plug harness than the pre-facelift models. (2) 2004-2006 have adaptive tailights, which turns brighter during a panic stop...something from this circuitry that causes LED bulbs to flicker.

These are the reasons why I haven't done the upgrade.

Odd. Hopefully I can get them to work on the 06, otherwise someone on here will be getting a good deal.

You can send them a note to make sure the turn signals are LED too

[ekvals]

I guess i should..

But the seller is zomk speed. I thought everyone else bought from him as well..?

It sounds a bit fishy if he is advertizing for led turn signals if they are not..

I don't think he would do that on ebay..

[ekvals]

I sent a question to zomk speed asking if the led turn lights where bulbs or integrated..

BTW, what happens if some of the led bulbs on brake or rear light goes out..?

Can they be replaced.?
