[QUOTE="bakuda, post: 449091, member: 19158"] This is true if you're taking about the cheap knock offs from China. The genuine Hella's have LED's (refereed to as 'Celis') and require ballasts (aka control units, you will need 1 for each tail light). These are included in the Hella upgrade kit, i.e.: [url]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-5-SERIES-E39-CELIS-REAR-LAMPS-HELLA-UPGRADE-LIGHT-/220566283252?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM[/url] They look fantastic at night and the imitations don't come close as they use a normal fluorescent light. Here's a comparison: [B]Genuine:[/B] [IMG]http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1795/img72933248912.jpg[/IMG] [B]Copy:[/B] [IMG]http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ju-WBJX9rDwgKM:http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9935/dsc00209x.jpg&t=1[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
