Good Source For LED Tail Lights?

At first I didn't have the feel or intrest with those LED Tail Lights but today.... lets just say I saw an E53 with them in front of me and I fell in love lol....


I was just wondering, wheres a good source we can purchase a good set, I looked at some on eBay but i fear that what I purchase from eBay isn't what I saw today. I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to give me a direct link to an ebay page where they have decent tail light sets?

Thanks~!

I would personally say eBay

I have purchased several sets of LED tails for different vehicles on there and never once had a problem. Look for the seller zomkspeed.

you should be fine. Tail lights will fit. The only thing is the flicker of the LED in 04-06 models.

But Both my taillights had problems with working when the brakes were applied after 2 years of owning them.

I've been searching, but all I could find was something about adding a capcacitor to handle the irregular power to the LEDs on 04-06s. Does anyone know the definitive fix for this and where this "capacitor" goes on the taillight setup?

So its just a matter of removing the three bolts or so on the current tail lamps and connector plug and put in the new ones and that's it or is there more to it to make sure the cluster doesn't send a message....due to it being LED
