Has anyone ever had a problem with installing the new 01' style tailights on a 97-99 e39?
I'm about to buy some OEM taillights from a 01 530, and the guy selling them said they might not wiring up properly because they had LED's. Honestly, I've never heard of anything like that but who knows, right?
:help

Im not extremely familiar with the sedan taillights, but i am familiar with electronics. The problem he mentioned with the LED's is a problem. I believe the LED tails have a resistance correction box (dont know what they really call it) you have to use with them. I dont know if the connection on the lights are the same, but if they are, you will get a light out notification (as well as fast blinkers). The LED's dont draw as much current as bulbs, so the car will think a bulb burned out. You can do a couple things to make them work. Get the proper hookup box, or put a resistor in parallel so compensate. Hope that helps you out a little.

thanks man.... I'll prolly go with the non-LED's. They look just as good, and honestly they'll look ten times better than the stock amber/red that i have now.
