F32/F82 OLED Tail Lights

After being left out for years we finally have an alternative for those of us with the pre-lci tail lights on the F32/F82. I got these from VLAND for $665 + $50 shipping but it looks like they have increased the price now. Fitment is 9/10. There was one wire on each side that was part of their tail light kit that had to be cut and reconnected. Ordered on 5/25/21 and received them yesterday. I will add more pics soon.

They look great! Was wondering if you could take some video of the startup animation more directly behind one of the tail lights. I definitely wanna pick up a set of these bad boys. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar for being one of the first people to order a set!

Those look nice. If I wasn't so cheap on cosmetic mods, I'd be all over this.

The install was plug and play right? You had to plug-in the cable from trunk lid light to outer light right?

Never mind on the video. I watched the video on my tablet instead of my phone and got a better look.

On each side there is a cable that runs from the outer light to the trunk lid light.

it looks pretty good man, definitely curious to see how they hold up over time. Thanks for being the Guinea pig for these, after seeing how good they look I might get a pair myself. Not sure why aftermarket companies are only making the GTS style tail lights and not the regular LCI tail lights?

Please keep us posted how they run! cheers

They look great and made me more certain to get the red lights rather than blacklines for my white f36.
Any idea if they all come from the same Chinese manufacturer, or is there a quality difference? I just wonder if some are made from cheaper components and have worse fitment or if they are all the same. And if there is anything to tell them apart before ordering. Otherwise I might as well order these on Amazon who will have my back in case there is an issue https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B095YCJ2...F6J0R8M3M?th=1 I

I guess if one light fails it's game over

Looks awesome! In my opinion the GTS taillights work much better in the wider 4 series application than they do on the F30s.

They look great, I've just ordered myself a set off a seller on AliExpress, around £500 and from China I'm hoping they are all from the same factory so all the same quality as the seller only gave 6 months warranty but usually led are pretty reliable

I think BayOptiks in the USA sells them too. I'm wondering if they're different or better quality than VLAND's.

I'm thinking they are all produced in the same factory and sellers are buying in bulk and making there own ad/price.
