Need help with tail light choice?

LT5PLA · 09-12-2011, 07:53 PM

I have a 06 e90 sedan with mtec kit, ive added the led depo v2 headlights and had them coded to work, while i got these coded i also got the rear tailights coded so they wouldnt cause any issues when changing them over...

Now i was thinking of getting these

what do people think? I reckon they would go well with the headlights, as the depo v2's have the led indicators

I would recommend our Blackline LED tail lights for the E90 in smoked.

anyone got some videos of these?
they look kinda weird from the pics imo

Unless you plan on coding your car. Don't get any LED taillights. I say that cause your car is an 06, and it will throw a shit fit. Not to mention I have read stories of the brake lights not even working sometimes. Get OEM or Depo blacklines non-LED.

We also carry the OEM and non LED blackline tail lights for those of you who do not want to go the LED route.

car has already been coded to take leds =)

LT5PLA · 09-20-2011, 08:23 PM

Ok so now its down to

1. standard blacklines

2. depo led smoked

edirtaynine · 09-21-2011, 02:10 AM

regular oem blacklines ftw.

i personally think 99% of aftermarket LED taillights look like rice and they just "look" aftermarket instead of oem... and i think when certain car parts (like lights) look aftermarket, they just look like cheap shit from nopi or apc or whatever. the depo ones that jlevi posted are probably the best looking aftermarket ones cuz they look close to oem... except my thing about aftermarket led tails is when they light up at night, something about it isnt as clean and lined up like an oem led taillight would be. this makes them look aftermarket to me.

/rant.

lol

I have LED w/ no issues, w/out coding.

E90Brad · 09-21-2011, 06:33 PM

On the first tails the op selected, the 3 rods don't turn the corner, that looks bad.

I'd say go with what Bryan suggests, I've dealt with him personally in the past and he was very helpful (thanks for getting the vrs decals up to Canada Bryan).

question -

the depos come with impedance boxes which need to be connected. Where do they need to be connected as the instructions are pretty poor?.
