LED taillights soon available!

German company fk-automtive has announced that they will soon sell LED taillights for e90.
I believe they sell only the outer part of the taillights. The inner part with the white triangle remains the same.
They will sell these taillights for 299 EUR.

I don't know when they will start to deliver, but the PDF claims within 1st half of 2006, which means until end of june.

...hope his isnt a repost.

I do belive somebody else posted this. Then another person said this catalog has been out for quite a while and as of yet still no LED's.

the only problem is their quality. I'm not sure how well they are made. In the Merc forum, some guys got aftermarket LED taillights and each LED blew one by one.....just keep that in mind

When LED's do come out, do you guys think that it'll be easy to install like the blacklines, or will there probably be cutting/splicing of wires?
