OLED taillight for F82 (Pre LCI)

[Mikerushton122]

Just ordered these [IMG][/IMG]

Lucky to get one of the first batch from alibaba.
The lady told me they are plug and play as I have Pre lci. Does anyone know if the ones they released for the m3 were plug snd play for lads with the Pre lci

Was hesitant to scoop up because it’s 2x the price of the initial f80 offerings, But definitely excited to see how they look on the car.

Good luck, keep us posted! Definitely not cheap, and need to see the fit/finish on these before giving up the already boss LCI tails. Thanks for being a guinea pig on these!

[Mikerushton122]

I'll wait until they come and I'll get some pics up lads
I have the standard on my bmw so it will make a big difference and 600 ain't to bad it is when you compare it to the M3 version but how long have we been waiting for these

I like how all the resellers are using real GTS photos to represent these replica OLEDs. From the pics I've seen there might be two variations of the F82 ROLEDs (replica OLEDs) like how it was for the F80. If I was an early adopter on these, I would want detailed photos of the actual product before shelling out $900 (2x-3x that of the F80 version).

totally agree there is no reason for them to be more than the F80 lights they are not that much bigger.

I'd like to see the quality and fitment first and then maybe i'll consider. at the moment they are unproven and the price will crash!

For anyone in the UK there is a group buy on these:

Price seems high considering the price of the M3 version... Any group buy opportunities for those in the US or anything?

I'd wait a couple months to see how these are once people have them and install them. Especially since there are V1 and V2s for F80s and new variants in production.

Yes, prices will probably go down a bit too and we'll know if they short circuit your electrics

I would wait for some more known brands first before making the jump.
China electrics are really hit and miss and I don't want my car to go up in flames either.

Caved after they added new photos and videos of the actual product. The second animation stutter bothered me in the beginning but seeing them mounted on the car, I kinda like it.
Quality-wise I'm sure they are fine, the F30/F80 V1s and probably V2s were the guinea pigs already.
Price-wise, you can ask for a discount. Won't be the same price as F30/F80 ones but I'd say it's a reasonable discount.

To maximize savings, don't forget to stack new discounted price with existing coupon, plus Rakuten cashback, plus your credit card's foreign currency bonus (for US, just change currency to CAD or w.e on the top right of aliexpress. I did the opposite).

The new pictures and video look a lot more promising. You sound pretty knowledgeable, are you affiliated with them? Are they confirmed the same producers of the V1/V2 F80 GTS replica? Still would like to see someone install them first before buying.

Nope, not affiliated but I've been waiting for this moment for a couple years now so I spent hours on researching and comparing before pulling the trigger.

If you scroll down the page it says the manufacturer is VLAND which is the same as the F30/F80 ones. And zooming in while they do the animation, you can see that they are using the same LEDs as the F30s behind each "leaf" as they illuminate nearby leaves the same way. The sequential LED turn signals seems to be smoother on these F32/F82 ones though.

If another manufacturer were to exist, I'd expect them to completely copy the OEM GTS leaves where the line has a curve to it instead of all being straight.

Not sure if it's possible but I will probably try to open it up and try to reprogram the animation sequence to either completely remove the second wave or speed up the last few leaves lumination on the second wave.

They said they will ship within 9 days from now, I'll def post a video and some pics when I install them.

Nice man. I've been waiting for awhile too, been holding off on the LCI upgrade in hopes these would come out so I'm glad they're here. Excited to see your install so I can buy mine

You can bargain with them via chat. Just ask for a discount, and offer them slightly lower than what they initially offer you.

Might not be $600-650 like the F30s v2s, but free shipping + rakuten cashback + stacked discount code on top off discounted price comes + foreign currency bonus on certain credit cards comes very close to it.

Will you lose money on this? I highly doubt it. The demand is huge. If you change your mind just throw it on craigslist and make a few hundred profits in a heartbeat.
