hey guys so I'm about to run to the store and pick up some 6800uF 50V capacitors. Trying to go through the walk through on this thread (http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...cs-shop-2.html) but seeing as I've NEVER done anything electrical in my life I was wondering if anyone could give me a better step by step guide or point me to a youtube video (I couldn't find one)

here's a pic of the taillights installed btw without the LED's working -_-

Im feeling stupid because I can't find the thread about the capacitors, but I want to see how to do it to get rid of the flickering also.

Got the lights hooked up with the help of the guys over at lightwerkz. If anyone has any questions about the install let me know and I'll try and walk you through it.

Does anyone have any suggestions, can I get custom harnesses made for these?

let me know if you guys think pictures of the lights would help

Currently looking through this thread, do I need to get these capacitors from lightwerkz because I'm an 06? http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-lights-6.html

Marcadelic,

I am upgrading my taillights with the same LED taillights you have. I understand about the flickering and how to fix it, but did you get the right side plug to fit the harness? I don't want to force it. Anyone???
