I got the LEDs on my car. Love how it matches the LED 3rd brake light.

ZuerstBMW · 08-27-2009, 02:04 AM

Id go with OEM Blacklines myself.

iheartsole · 08-27-2009, 09:28 AM

oem blacklines

SV Concepts III · 08-27-2009, 12:52 PM

Tough choice but I am partial to the LED look.

E92-Lighting · 08-27-2009, 01:22 PM

DEPO blacklines, non-LED, beware with some LED based models, they will throw error codes

what happens if it throws a code bmw voids my taillight warranty ?

SV Concepts III · 08-27-2009, 02:54 PM

Nope, it just triggers a bulb out warning on your dash (little triangle near the mileage window). The tail lights function but some people get annoyed by the triangle. I have seen this on a few 06s, it seems like the newer 07+ models do not get errors.

i have the OEM blacklines they look great, but i love the LEDs..if you buy the LEDs and decide you dont want them im always open to trade lol.

HighVoltage · 08-27-2009, 04:27 PM

If we ever get a decent pair of leds that include led turns then Ill change it up but until then OEM blacklines...

AlpineG05 · 08-27-2009, 04:29 PM

cool man, got it

Keep in mind that the DEPO blacklines are also darker than the OEM ones. Depends on the look you're going for.

yuyue · 08-27-2009, 09:43 PM

if you can get a closer look on the real physical products, instead of pictures.
it will be a no brainer to choose the oem blackline.

BillLee · 08-27-2009, 11:51 PM

oem. i like those three lines that go across

AlpineG05 · 08-27-2009, 11:59 PM

there's no better feeling than going the OEM route

no, it just triggers a bulb out warning, but it still works perfectly, some people get annoyed, some dont, DEPO blacklines (NON-LED) are error free or i will offer you a full refund + free gift, pretty good deal if you ask me

We tested a set with full LED turns but unfortunately the factory painted red around the turn signal area so it looked off. We are working to get these in the right color though.

Thanks Nick.

Good news. Keep us in the loop.

FoShizzle · 08-28-2009, 01:21 PM

The above pictures aren't fair comparisons. The first pic of oem blacklines is with just lights on. In the second picture of led tails the lights are off and the brakes are applied.

Yea, those look like butt. Now, is there any good looking solution using a led in the bulb socket of any of these? Ive always heard they aren't bright enough that way.
