Just got additional photos from the seller. Will order on Sunday since they have a black friday sale that day. Let's see if it's going to be a waste of 700 bucks or if it will actually be good.

Are you planning on getting the red or black ones? The black ones appear too dark for my tastes. I tried contacting the seller to see if they can honor the BF price if ordered today but it seems the contact feature is down (for me anyway)

Definitely the red ones. Want to retain the oem look as much as possible with the lighting on this car. Not a fan of the smoked versions.

My biggest concern as of right now is if these will need additional coding to function properly. According to the seller, it should just be plug and play. Also, maybe these won't be as bright as my OEM LCI taillights during the day. Regardless, I think it's worth a shot for $700 so I'm planning on ordering a set and will report back once I install them.

Ordered a set of these last week for a local, should be in just before Xmas.

Pre-LCI will likely need coding, LCI already has most of the bulbchecks turned off - it shouldn't be necessary.

Also there are several talented remote coders if you need to solve those issues

you may need to figure out coding to have the light slide feature when you unlock the M4cs/GTS

I’m hoping they’ll be like my sequential blinking set in which it’s wired already to behave correctly. Resistor packs eliminate coding needs or at least bulb errors.

Paying attention to this thread I like the look of my LCI tail lights, but this looks pretty good and if it's plug and play I'm definitely interested.

The smoked looks more like blacklines, still undecided if I like those.

Ended up placing the order, paid extra $107 for express shipping so my set will be here the first week of December. tom @ eas if you'd like to facilitate something, I'd be more than willing to work with you guys on this as I am local.

Also, to those who are interested, I was finally able to ask the seller to send me videos with a help of my Mandarin speaking friend. Not sure how to add videos on here so PM me and I'll send you the video on IG.

You should try this one out and we can maybe compare the two? I'm betting they're probably the same thing but would be interesting to compare.

Need to go through WhatsApp for the Aliexpress seller. He did not reply to my Aliexpress messages either. They take forever to reply though.

He is very responsive thru WeChat. (wechat:18758612637) I assume he will respond fast thru WhatsApp as well.

I’m ordering 3 sets of red lights for me and couple mates. In the process of sending payment, and will update fitment/ quality in this thread
