Is there a way I can upgrade my 6pin to 7pin and just get the OEM facelighted R/C/R clears?
Notice how the OEM R/C/R looks clean and best. All lights coordinate and work as should.
I was looking to upgrade my old e46 style tails to the newer style and went thru a disappointing spell with the R/C/R Depos (looks ultra bootleg on the inside) and the Eagle Eye "semi-LED" tails (the aftermarket technology for LED tails are not nearly as good as OEM-you got dim leds, missing leds, misaligned leds, and either a loss of the trunk lid light and loss of clear-white-light back up light or mis-coordination of non led type trunk lid light and led tail light).
See pics below for the grotesque details;
miscoordination of led tails and non-led trunk lid light of C/R Led Tail
loss of clear-white reverse light and instead the red trunk lid led light glows brighter on R/C/R Led Tail
also poor brightness distrubution of R/C/R Led tail before the comprehensive "resistor" fix
The Depo's R/C/R regular tail looks horrible on the backside
And some kits come with one less bulb on the bottom row which looks less bright and more bootleg,
whiles the OEM R/C/R tail comes with two bulbs on the bottom row.
