LED Taillights

Hey Fellas. I want to replace my original tail lights with LED's. Got any type of brand recommendation? I prefer black housing since my X5 is black. Thank you!

Why can't some company invent true Celis powered lights for the E53

Hella even gave the Ford Pick-em-up truck a celis light.

How come a ticket? Because there's no red in the assembly aside from the bulbs themselves? Is that a necessity in all states?

if u live in a hick town and your brother is a judge i dont think its worth it...i live in Hawaii and cops here will pull u over and will give u a ticket in a heart beat even if your aftermarket headlights are too bright. Its up to u whether its worth the trouble.

Update on my tail ticket: My brother knows a Sheriff and signed off on the ticket. However, my brother lost the original ticket before he could send it to me! So now, I'm stuck on gettin it replaced with a little darker red with smoked signal lens.
