ive read someplaces that some tail lights cause the OBC to read "brake light failure"
would anyone agree?
ok...
well i want clears but i dont wanna pay alot and iv heard alot of people suggesting ebay in that department bc of price. but i dont want that code thrown. talk to me guys...

i bought tails from ebay...the lenses look good, but the housing is shit...(hard to put in the bulbs) - my OBC then read "tail light failure" when i turned on the lights.... - i think someone suggested to unhook the battery before installing the lights, and u won't get the failure message...but i'm not sure if that'll work. there's a DIY on how to delete the "tail light failure" message on the OBC. i'm gonna try it soon.

hmmmm i guess it really is all luck??

i bought some ebay clear tails about a month ago... and i had the same problem with it being a big difficult to put the bulbs in, but they went in fine after i put some brute force into action...

i do not get the "tail light failure" message, and my tails work/look great, i'm pretty damn happy for $70shipped! :)

If the connections are good and the lights all work; then it would be the wire board within the lens that is bad.

Ebay lights are know for this. Be careful installing the lenses and put the bulbs in first. I have had no problems with mine. Although I have had problems in the past with another e-36 and ebay lights... specifically (G-Force Racing).

For <100 dollars...try em.

specifically (G-Force Racing)

those are the tails i got...i'm gonna stay away from buying car parts from ebay.
my friend just bought a front grill for his e36 from ebay and it doesnt clip in all the way.

we have the depo tails, no OBC errors.

yea but ebay has great budget kits, where i got mine, no message
