    Do you have the link or the name of the seller to the set on the right???

    Also, did you have to add resistor the wiring so it doesn't give you a bulb out message

    I like the one on the right, kinda reminds me of a late E39 tails.
    I own mostly junk. Except the Porsche, that's kind of cool.

    i bought the ones on the left a long time ago. they look great, but i'm getting those annoying error messages. how would you go about adding a resistor to the wiring?

    haha! yo when I had those celis tails on my car and in my signature here , i got a private a day! wut r those tails, who makes those tails, where did you buy those tails...



    I got them on ebay for like 175$ shipped, i must have gotten the last set for awhile. then I gave them to Burn (car on right), I actually like the led's better. the celis is hawt, but they have so much room for improvement.

    I bought my 98 740i with installed aftermarked led lights and i sometimes get error message "check brake lights". Do you know what parameters it check on lights a what should be correct value of it? I think i need to add resistor, but i don't know how many ohms \:
    Maybe if you can measure it on original lights with multimeter?

    Got mine on Ebay. X3Racing. Caught a good price on these. $180 plus $20 shipping. They even came with a socket in the fog light so I converted it to the 4th brake light. Just put a couple of LED bulbs in there. No problem on error messages. The turn signals (I use stealth bulbs) and reverse lights are still the fillament type 1156.
