I actually like these way more than LCI, and also more than beady look... I like the essential mix of what the LCI M3 looks like pre-LCI headlights and LCI tail lights (those are coming in this week)

Yea I feel you. I just feel like if you don't like the beady look, the HID option would be better due to it being brighter and not having any gaps at all. When I got my OSS I thought the same thing until I compared it to an LCI and was pretty upset, because those things blow everything out of the water with their brightness and evenness! Lol. And I get you about the LCI tails, I just like it to be either a pre-LCI or LCI car (one or the other)

looking at the pics...How come the outer rings leds look to be more in numbers and closer to the next one with little spacing, compared to the inner rings as it looks totally different??...I wonder why they didnt make both the same. Very strange they would do this. Both rings dont have any uniformity to them..It looks as though the only change from V2 to V4 is the outer ring and thats it...

Cbozz, I probably won't upgrade. Too much of a hassle for less spaces |

this is very evident from these pics of someone elses V4 install...pics 1-4 shows this lack of uniformity of the both led rings in terms of led spacing...IMO its a fail for anal folks like myself. View post on imgur.com Last edited by cn555ic; 09-03-2012 at 09:30 PM.. |

Now I have some questions:
I checked online and I believe the price is 250ish. Correct? Please post the link if you can How is it powered? Will I have to solder any cables, or is it plug and install? How is it controlled? From the light switch or remote? How did you clean the lens? And what paint did you use to paint the housing?

NO flickering, I coded the warm/cold bulb check off so there is no flickering...
