When are you looking to make the purchase?

Also R32GOJIRA and I are both in Wollongong so shipping can go to either of us and we can go pick it up, to save shipping costs.
Sounds like a good idea, save on shipping down to the Gong. What a great place to be for drives down there! Did the 0600 run through RNP down to Bulli Tops, Mt Keira, MQ pass, back to Nowra then out to Tallowa Dam. Alot of fun.

As far as ETA goes, I expect things will be a bit quiet over Xmas then I will finalise the order and advise on shipping & final amounts.

Wait a bit also to see if there are any stragglers.

I have nothing to contribute to this thread other than the lights are rad and your B5 RS4 turned me on.

Timot you are too kind... notice you are also a bit of a VAG fan with the B6... also a nice ride

Though I'm sure we could find some LEDs for your B6 in the ozaudi section:

Yours should be the same as my E91 so it is the BA15s so $44 per set + shipping which I will split between the group.

Let me know if you want in

Going to change my pre LCI tail light to aftermarket Depo LCI tail light soon.
May I ask for those who have got the Depo LCI tail light, is the reverse light housing the same as to the genuine LCI reverse light housing?
Just want to double check since I can't check it physically without the tail light.

If so, I am keen to buy a set too.

*btw donR, is there any even brighter version from your supplier though?

I'm still relatively new to E90 verbiage, so idk if I have an LCI or Pre (I'm thinking LCI though).

2010 335i sedan. Also, I'm in.

Yes, the GB includes three types as described in the thread and listed below but please check your reverse light if possible otherwise I will assume the following:

1. E90/E91 PRELCI - BA15s

2. E92/E93 PRELCI - W16W (T20 wedge type)

3. E9x LCI - is this special type:

I think you'll find that LCI reverse light shown above with two x CREE XM-L LEDs will be exceptionally bright and only really limited by the relatively small LCI rectangular aperture. It still casts a good a mount of light though.

BTW if people check their manuals or have a look in your boot it is really easy to check which type of reverse light you have.

How do I check? I've never done anything with the tail lights, at diy guides to pull it out?

You should be able to get into the boot and pull off a flap to access the rear lights.

Though I think yours will definitely be option 3 as you are late model E92 LCI so if you have trouble don't worry too much at the moment.

Looks like ATTN has done his already so maybe check with him also.

I did find this guide but not exactly for your car:

Eb, you're definitely LCI and there's only 1 version of LCI tail light available.
