how would you guys like LED tail lights on the X5 to be?

all white LED but lightup red ?

An all in one LED cluster? (will do all the work tail light, turn signal and brake light)

how would you like the ELD`s to be arranged? pattern?

and what do you like the most about LED lights?

Did you see the new Audi V10 as a strip of LCD's up front for parking lights.

LCD looks great but the current BMW X5 lights works well and look fine, will save my money an get LCD with the next new car.

Personally, in keeping with the family, I'd like to see a large Cellis strip running across both sections (corners and rear door lights) when lit, and LED's for the turn signals and brake lights.

The lens coloring should be the same as the current sports package lights, clear on top, red on the bottom. Changing how the lens is colored probably would not blend well with the body lines - leave it as is.

The Adaptive Braking feature should be retained for facelift models.

I dislike totally clear lenses - the smoked clears made by Hella for the E39 looks completely attrocious. I saw an M5 sitting in a parking lot with these clear lights installed; it looked terrible.

I think a production run of about 500 will suffice - I'm sure you can sell all of them here on this board. People will come flocking here to purchase them. So when will you have them ready?
