The turn signals are standard bulbs but can be changed out with our LED turn signal bulbs for a complete LED setup.

We should have these in about 3-4 weeks, 1st week of December.

The $279 price is reflective of the $20 off.

tick... tickkk... tickkkkkk.....

Well its the 1st week of December where are the LED tails??? This is one reason I signed up for the group buy, BUT decided not to prepay...these were supposed to be done months ago. What's the dillio

Yeah theyre available in ebay europe but not here!!!

The one on ebay is set of 4 for $299 (pics below). jlevi's are 2 pcs. right? Should it be less than $279?

I hope those aren't the same ones from Jlevi, the LEDs look too close to one another

When LEDs are placed closer they look better if reflectors for each LED is small or not present at all. Look at FX35/45 or BMW E46 LEDs, they look amazing, best LED taillights on the market and LEDs are really close. On the other hand if LEDs are too far apart they look cheap, similar to Toyta Rav4 total for 9 or so LEDs per taillight. CHEAP!

It seems that I will never have LEDs for my e53 :(

Some comments about LED tails in general.

It will probably not come as a shock to many of you that the tails are coming through Umnitza. So let's just explain that the delay is our typical delay because we like to make sure that the product we put out is plug and play, no error codes, and looks like what you expect. We don't jump the bandwagon the minute something is hot, but we do lag behind the early adopters.

Here's why:
1) eBay - every single LED version on eBay is made by Eagle Eyes or Sonar. We are in the process of testing this out right now and will report our results within in the next 2 weeks. Problem? Each one of those is Euro spec only. Which means, 99% of you in the US will not want it (error codes, possible fires of the LCM, potentially incorrect plugs <-- tbd).

2) Look and feel - we want to make sure that EE produces the right one, but in the meantime, we've been waiting on our chief supplier to provide us with their version. Historically, their version is as close to factory stock as it gets and it is always our preference to acquire those first before any other factory's attempt. Their plastics are higher quality, as are their LED and electronics.

3) 4pc versus 2pc - we will only be purchasing 4pc sets if we can help it and selling them.

4) Finally, fit - we still need to work out the differences between 2000-2003.5 and the 04 MY and up fitments. For example, in the E46 Coupes and Sedans were different as well as a mid-model-year change from one style of adapter plug to another.

You guys have waited this long, wait a little longer, the rewards of security, look and feel, fit, and function are greater than instant gratification.

Thanks for the informative post Matt!
