¦¦¦ AutoWerks E46 LED Tail Lights Have Arrived!! ¦¦¦

[alizbeemer]

Yeah, sadly.

PS. I am not an ANTI-AUTOWERKS member. I actually like auto-werks for providing excellent deals to this community. However, I am an anti JIM POWELL guy.

Noticed how JIM POWELL came on here and TOOK all the credit for releasing the LED lights? He said it help design, test, produce, and distribute the tail lights. However, since everything is going wrong JIM POWELL just disappear.

Jim powell is a very poor business man with poor business management. If you know him like I do (back in the days of the orginal DDEs in bf.com) you will see that this guy is either retarded and/or dumb or just plain shaddy.

JIM POWELL? since you claimed you were the driving and instrumental factor in this LED project then what do you have to say about the JUNE released date? Why are you leaving AUTOWERKS out to dry?


ADA there is no need to bash Jim Powell at all if anything your not making any type of sense. Your saying that your not a anti-autowerks guy but a anti Jim Powell guy..Autowerks is a vendor of Jim Powell and he has many other vendors like M3 Motorwerks etc.

Furthermore, JIm Powell has not been disappearing he does not come the forums as a vender because he has vendors that already sell for him..Because of the entire led madness he has replied due to delays and complications.He has gone over seas to meet with eagle eyes and sqaure everything away so all us can have led lights. I truely don't see any point in bashing some one when they are not at fault if anything, trying hard to prove results..Yes we have been waiting for a year including myself but its not Jim Powell's fault just like its not Autowerks fault. Bashing someone will not give us results..I truely understand everyones fustration on this matter but come on bro no need for this man. :thumbup:

[mteezy]

Not that I dont like reading all of the unofficial reports but I was wondering if Josh could give us an Official one...Thanks

[Nuori]

It will be alot more similar when I go back to the black moldings. :thumbup:
It's alright, both cars look good.

Why are you going back to black? I'd trade with you. :dunno:

[Josh@AutoWerks]

OK, everybody, here is an "official" update.

The bottom line right now is that I just don't know the exact status on the LEDs. We had a firm ship date that the factory was committed to, we ran out and passed this information on to our customers and as of this moment, I don't know why they are not shipping.

I don't want to go into a lot of detail of what I think is going on because that is just speculation on my part and not fair to the manufacturer and other individuals that are involved. And no, I don't blame Jim - the reason he doesn't post here is because he can't - he is not a supporting vendor.

As far as I know the lights passed DOT, so that is not the problem. My guess is that they still are having some light failure warning issues with the LCM.

I wish I had better news. I wish I could tell you these were shipping right now and I know this sucks. I don't blame any of you for being frustrated - we are too.

The Euro spec versions have been available in limited quantities for some time, but they are not DOT approved and do not work correctly on US spec cars. I know MITE46 and others may be working on a fix for this and I will be interested to see if they get it working. From what I have seen on that thread, it doesn't look like a complete fix in all operating conditions. It is not as simple as adding on a few resistors - if it was we would have been shipping long ago.

We are pushing the factory hard for updates. They manufacture thousands of OEM replacement parts but this is the first product of this type that they have tackled. I think they underestimated its complexity.

Again, I wish I had better news. We are being as honest and open about what is going on as we can be. I do respect Eagle Eyes for not releasing the product until it is 100% right. This is costing them boatloads of money and I am sure they are not happy with these delays either.

As soon as we get any new information, we will post it right here!

[4ngie]

Thanks Josh. :)

Actually the Euro lights can work fine on US cars. Many of us have successfully had them installed on US cars and I speak from personal experience that they work flawlessly with no LCM or lights-out issues on my 03 330i. DOT approval isn't really a concern for me. If they are approved for EURO use I'm sure they are fine for us and the DOT approval is a formality. MITE has a unique situation with using an M3 LCM so I wouldn't use him as an example.

All that aside I really hope you can get these lights sooner than later for the sake of those on the board. You guys seem like stand up vendors who are doing their best. Unfortunately some of us can't wait and must go our own route with the Euros. Good luck!

[Adenosinebambam]

I think as long as we have general updates it would be ok.. ESP if we preordered an e-mail would have been nice.... anything...

[deafboy]

Cool....thanks. I would just like to have my lights before I leave for the summer.

Again, thanx for the update.

You are probably right about them working now, but what about the long term effects. If it doesn't kill your LCM now doesn't mean it won't later. Its like the Corner delete mod with the LEDs...some guys had them for about a year and then it decided to kill the LCM. I hope all goes well with all the ones that got the euro taillights.

[MITE46]

Which is why they have to do some major changes to their design if the current euros are flawed...again the wiring goes strait into the PCB directly from the connector...

By your same argument you can say anything other than the factory bulb can cause the LCM to fail over time...The best you can do is try to match the electrical characteristics of a incandescent 12V light bulb...and hope it doesn't burn over time...

[ImolaZHPDom]

Good point. I guess that's a risk we are taking.

Even if that happens in 6 months or a year I guess I would be willing to pay the cost of a new LCM. Even if someday I need to buy a new one so what, that's a small price to pay vs waiting forever and then some for the official ones. I like being the only guy in the city or probably state to have them!

In other words the cost of needing a new LCM (doubtful) :dunno: vs waiting and waiting and wating some more is well worth the risk IMO. To each is own though. I commend you guys for your patience. :clap:

[Custom3]

I knew it.....
Autowerks you need to do something fast...theres another vendor on here selling led tailights including shipping for $300 and delivered asap....im not going to say what vendor sent me the private message all im saying is your making yourselves look bad.:thumbdwn:

Well since you have a coupe...go with OEM...none of these aftermarket taillights will be good as OEM.

[Josh@AutoWerks]

You are probably right about them working now, but what about the long term effects. If it doesn't kill your LCM now doesn't mean it won't later. Its like the Corner delete mod with the LEDs...some guys had them for about a year and then it decided to kill the LCM. I hope all goes well with all the ones that got the euro taillights.

I don't think the real issue is that it would kill your LCM, although I guess that is a risk. The issue is to get the lights working properly under all operating conditions. Working properly means that they do not throw fault codes and they light up correctly every time. Simply getting this to occur on a 70 degree day on one car does not necessarily solve the problem. It has to work every time at -30 and at 150 degrees.

The problem with a non-manufacturer remedy is that it may work or it may not. For some this isn't an issue, just like DOT certification may not be important. For others, this may be very important. I think a key point is that this isn't simply some interior bulb or fog light we are talking about. I really like knowing that my brake lights are working properly every time. I also like it to notify me when they are not. As a responsible retailer, I could never sell this product unless I felt that it met these standards. If your brake lights decide not to work properly and your dash warning lights don't alert you to this as you drive down the highway at 70+MPH, you could be in serious trouble.

This isn't an excuse for the delays. I have run out of those. But it is the reason why the product can't be released until it is right.

[Josh@AutoWerks]

I knew it.....

Well, we certainly hate to make ourselves look bad!

Look, there is high demand for this product. When that happens people will try to find other sources. Right now, Eagle Eyes is releasing limited numbers of Euro spec LED tail lights. But, they are making the distributors sign a document saying that they will not sell them to the US. Some will play by the rules and some will not.

If this other vendor is selling Euros in the US, then they are trying to make a quick buck by selling non-approved, untested, non-DOT products against the wishes of the manufacturer. There will be no warranty support and no one to complain to if they don't work down the road. I would argue that we are not the ones looking bad in this situation.

That is simply not how we do business. No product is worth diminishing our reputation within the industry and if that means we never sell a single LED tail light and someone else sells a bunch on the "black market" then so be it. In the long run operating your business that way does not pay off. I wonder why they just PMd you and did not make a general post?

[NorthJersey 3er]

We should know something by tomorrow morning.

Have patience, guys! These aren't interior lights, they're brake lights. Our safety depends on it so I want them to work flawlessly. If that means that I have to wait, then I'll wait.

:clap: i got oem clears for now, im chillin, but patiently waiting :burnout:

[deafboy]

Josh, if you could predict a date what would you say? Nothing official. Just a guess. Do you think I will get these before I leave for the summer? If not I may need to cancel my order.

Thanks for all of the info.

DELETE THREAD FOR CHRISTS SAKE !

[minsoox1983]

Lets respect their decisions for the delay. (better than getting a crappy product and compain) Autowerks even promised us to do their best. I'm pleased to hear that.

Even though it's hard, let's wait patiently, To me, this worth to wait,, since i don't want to face any problem after i receive the product.

I'm sure Autowerks will let us know as soon as he finds out something.

[Josh@AutoWerks]

:thumbdwn: to everyone involved in the manufacturing, distribution, and sales process of this product. When you have a deadline, you meet it. Otherwise, don't set a deadline and come up with empty promises. Bad business practice.

I agree that product delays are a bad thing. We try to avoid them at all costs and we have successfully launched many products exactly on time (often early). Unfortunately, this one has been delayed. This is regretable but it does happen. Even BMW has been known to have delays in model launches and generally I think they are a pretty good company.

I hope the mods do not delete this thread becuase there is a lot of valuable information here that would be lost.

It may be hard to see but we are working very hard behind the scenes to wrap up the remaining few loose ends. Jim is in China right now working face to face with Eagle Eyes. The truth is that we could release the product right now and try to customer engineer around the fault code issue or other minor glitches but we are not going to do that.

We remain committed to keeping you informed of the product's status and remain committed to getting it to market as soon as possible.

Thanks for your understanding.

[deafboy]

I'm just disappointed because no one has replied to my e-mail that I sent to you guys.

Agreed that the thread shouldn't be deleted. But it should be renamed. It's getting tiresome seeing it state that the LEDs have arrived. (It's only making you guys look bad Josh even if it isn't your fault).

One suggestion Josh (this isn't hate), you guys should probably stop taking orders for these things. I know you are an honest company but if someone happened on your web site and didn't know the history behind these lights they might place a good faith order thinking they would have them in a few weeks when we still have NO idea how long it will be. Just a suggestion since it seems even you guys are in the dark about an actual ship date and even if you had one it's doubtful anyone would believe it at this point.

Good luck!

We need Eagle Eyes to step up to the plate and let us know whats really going on. :thumbsup:

We are taking pre-orders, but on the website it says they'll be available shortly. We don't charge them, we also send them an email saying they're unavailable. We take every precautionary step to assure the customer is informed about the wait and make sure they're comfortable with the wait before the order over the phone.

This tread should definitely be deleted! I looked at the first couple pages and decided to place an order thinking that these are in stock or will be in stock soon since the thread is 4 months old and states "AutoWerks E46 LED Tail Lights Are Here!"

You should take this product off your website until you actually have a product to sell or

I don't understand where your hostility comes from towards us. Please refrain from any sort of assaults towards us and/or our company. If we were manufacturing these LED we would literally have an update weekly, but we're not. Eagle Eyes is the manufacturer and we give word when we get word.

Chris, people are just frusturated. You guys have been good about posting updates but they have always been vague and truthfully somewhat unhelpful. This is probaby just a direct reflection of the info you are getting so I don't necessairly blame you.

I still say you guys should stop taking pre-orders or at least change the Available Soon message to something more realistic. "Available Soon" to people who happen on your web site might seem like "any day now" when this probably isn't the case. You guys have a great reputation but this is the type of thing that keeps people frusturated.

Good luck once again.

You know what. Autowerks should've just posted <b>April Fools! We can't get the taillights and none of you are getting your money back either you suckers!!" </b> on april 1st.

[BimmaBwoy]

^^ I have to laugh at your comments jeeeeee b/c I think it's funny.

Come on guys seriously I keep thinking that people are completely missing the point (safety). I believe autowerks has done and keeps doing what they can on their end to satisfy customers. I've talked to these guys on numerous occasions and it's always the same thing. When they find out something you almost literally see it posted immediately. If there's no news that's fed to them then there's no news for us. They are taking a beating b/c of this LED situation. I agree that everyone is frustrated (including myself) and just about given up hope on LED tails (pretty much) until I hear/see them for myself. IMO if this pushes on further and further there's not going to be a need for them b/c mostly everyone is going to move on to newer rides (Ex: E90's etc) and Eagle Eyes is going to lose out. Hey when I realized that this wasn't going to happen I just bought OEM clears and was satisfied with that. It's been said again and again. If you want the LED tails and you can't wait go on ebay and purchase them. If you want to give your business to a reputable company then you will have to have patience plain and simple.

I see that autowerks has finally taken down the product page with the LED Taillights. So what does this mean since you are finally doing it now....have you guys given up yourselves?

[trizzuth]

Hmm. I wonder what would happen. just wonder. If I started selling LED Tail load resistor kits, customized to your specific LED Tails (Red/Clear, or Red/Clear/Red), delivered to your house within 20 days max (much less delivery time if there was little interest). You would get the package, use the snap-wire tap ins and splice into the existing LED Tail wiring, mount the load box behind your trunk panel, and cover. BOOM, fully working LED Tails, no dash warning. The only problem is that the issues presented seem too complex to fully cover, some give dash warning only, some give dash warning and screw up the LCM, some need LCM reflash, or NEW LCM, seems tough to solve this puzzle with one set of universal LED Tails for the E46. That's precisely why the load resistor packs would work. Custom, based on each set. yeaaaaaa. I think I just patented that. :thumbup:

UPDATE

Eagle Eyes is currently sending over 20 US Spec kits (5 of each different model). These will be used for final testing. Eagle Eyes claims that they are all working perfectly, but we are not taking any chances and will be testing them extensively.

The results of this test will determine our release date. If everything goes as planned, Eagle Eyes will release the product ASAP.

I'll keep you posted.

Eagle Eyes is launching various models to combat this complicated LCM issue



PREDICTION:


Eagle Eyes will release numerous versions of the LED tailights for our bimmer (ie....pre-facelift, post facelift, etc).

Eagle eyes will release their current LED lights. However, it will only be compat with either post or facelift sedans but not both.


Nevertheless, I am proud of Autowerks for updating its customer. I am happy that there is finally PROGRESS. +1 for autowerks (updating/releasing news) and +1 for Eagle Eyes for their progress.

[Nuori]

Wow. Good to read about the progress.

[Adenosinebambam]

Progress is very good, I wouldn't mind being a tester.. even though I am sure people have had preorders before mine of 1/27/06..

[chandz]

Learning from the past experiences, I suggest not to get your hopes too high. But do cross your fingers, though.

[deafboy]

good to hear.

Im not getting my hopes up too high but its good to know. either way I doubt I'll get them before I leave for the summer.

:cry:

[Josh@AutoWerks]

We haven't finalized the testing process yet, but there are some tough questions we need answered. Eagle Eyes tried to test the units on "US Spec" cars they had access to in Taiwan but that did not solve all of the problem. The units really needed to be tested here on a variety of cars which is what is going to happen now.

We may need some help with test cars, but that will likely be limited to cars in the San Diego and Sacramento areas.

We really thought the DOT certification was going to be the tough part, but that basically went fairly smoothly. The problem is the damn lights just do not work like they are supposed to in certain situations. They do look very cool though - amazingly bright.

Stay posted.

How can they be DOT certified and still have problems? :hmm:


To be honest with you the only reason why I havent cancelled my order is because of the Free shipping you offered and the Free xenon fog bulbs...Im just waiting for my leds and that would be that last time I would conduct any business with your site...its not your fault the leds arent out yet...but I feel you been d*cking us around with DELAY excuses....I would rather you admit you have no clue as to whats going on over there at Eagles Eyes...

Were testing the lights now :blah: :blah:
(2 weeks later)
We found a glitch so now theres another 3 month delay :blah: :blah:

We need some videos of the testings your doing with these tailights....then will know you guys arent messing with our heads again.:thumbup:

Well said.

+1 for Autowerks for making an honest attempt to help bring this product ot the market.

-1 for eagle eyes and Jim Powell. As I stated before, the "DOT certification" is nothing more than a smoke screen to buy more time to resolve the LCM issue.

[Josh@AutoWerks]

Let me clarify something regarding DOT certification. Believe it or not, DOT has nothing to do with whether it actually works in the model of car you designed it for. The DOT certification process looks at the functional design of the brake light and makes sure it meets certain standards. For example, are the brake lights red, is there side visibility of the turn signal indicator, etc.

DOT does not test the unit in all the cars to see if a fault code warning light goes off - they don't care. Therefore, the lights are DOT certified (not simply DOT spec) but they have a couple of glitches that need to be fixed.

At the end of the day, all we can do is try to keep each of you informed, even if it isn't always good news. I hope, based on our reputation, that you trust us enough to know that we would never play games with this. Why would we possibly want to delay this item more than one day longer than we have too?

We will keep updating you as we get the final bugs worked out.

Thanks for your patience.

[chandz]

I thought the testing process was over months ago (or last year, I think) :dunno: hence the U.S Spec? Now it looks like you are trying to put the so-called Euro spec on U.S cars. If that's the case, just a reminder - it has been done last year by another distributor.

so wait. I am confuse. so if DOT wasn't that big of a fuss then why was there such a big commotion about the DOT Cert? You and Jim Powell keep on stating the IMPORTANCE and SAFETY factors of owning a DOT Cert tail light. Heck, you even said "buy from us because ours will be DOT Cert. Other vendors are not selling DOT cert (stree illegal items)"


Heck, give me a few dollars and within 2 minutes will be able to tell you if your tail lights are Red and if the turn signal is visible.

eagle eyes LEDs match the OEM red color. as long as you are buying OEM trunk lights the red will be just about a perfect match, so those ebay ones are probably aftermarket, i dunno, but if they are OEM they you'er good to go!

"I wanted to provide everyone an update on these tail lights.

The ones you are purchasing now are strictly Euro lights and as you have probably noticed, they actually work on your cars with some minimal changes (resistors, jumpers, etc.) and all of them require no flashing of the LCM/ECU.

We have been in contact with Eagle Eyes this last week and the update they gave us is this:

1) Full DOT compatibility (including changes to the actual tail light assemblies) will be completely finished probably by end of this summer.

2) The lights you currently have WILL be changed - but there is no indication if the changes are better or worse as one of the main reasons these failed the first DOT tests in April was entirely for insufficient outer reflectors. Since Eagle Eyes is having to redo the reflector design, they MAY be redoing the light circuit board (but my estimation is this is very unlikely).

3) All units are the same - whether EURO or US - at this time. There is no difference unless and until they complete DOT testing. The comments made by the leading importer (over 15 containers a month) and the leading sales representative are that the lights have never been changed except now when they are doing the DOT testing. Additionally, the lights that are DOT tested and pass will probably be the same style as sold to the EURO countries and they have no intention of producing two different models.

4) DEPO's version of the LED tails is a more conventional looking LED that has the center section as white/crystal and will be available in 3-4 weeks on our next shipment. We will expect pricing for them to be $279 introductory + shipping and will be running a group buy for them at that price.

5) The DEPO version of the LED COUPE tails will be available for $315 in a few weeks. However, they WILL at this time require a secondary controller (which was designed by our engineer) and will cost an additional $40 (Unless you wish to design your own, in which case the parts might cost you $10-15). The $40 cost represents a fully tested, working, produced external ballast for the LED tails."

Is there truth to this? Anyone confirm?

I believe if they did pass DOT they should have been on the market by now.

Its not Autowerks fault that Eagle Eyes wont release them. I think they handled the situation as professional as humanly possible.

And believe me I've been on this before you even placed your order.. I'm the one that brought the news before Autowerks.
Not only Autowerks is doing their best to keep you updated but also give you free shipping and lights to keep you happy.
You have to understand that they are NOT the factory.

As long as they look sick, work, and flush I have no problem waiting. But if these dont turn out great I'll be pissed.

I dont mind the wait, just do it right.

i mean look at BMW
they deliberately not put LED on their sedens because all the competition has them. who cares? so what if they're safer and never burn out? just because its the industry standard, doesnt mean bmw has to put it on their car.
guess who's not buying a bmw as his next car ;)

There is one led missing from the turn signal section. It is because they had to place the mount for the top of the light.

[deutschmarque]

Help me understand. Since sedans have the red white red pattern, how would the led white red work in regards to wiring. Is one of the connection in the back not connected?

[chandz]

It doesn't matter. You are switching the whole tail light assembly. The tailight is connected only with single connector consisting different wires (green, brown, etc.) into one. Think it as this way...Belkin's power surge connector is the tail light. One socket from the wall to power some/all your electrical appliances. It's just you are switching from 3 to 2 outlets. But, of course it's not simple as that. LED tail light is entirely different than halogen bulbs. They're soldered and organized on a circuit board. So, you're actually switching from 3 outlet to 1.

I can't believe I just read all 33 pages thinking that in the end there would be photos and great reviews about these LED tails! Let me rephrase that, I thought when reading page 8 or so that around page 19 things would have panned out for everyone involved.

I really don't believe this. I'm an Industrial Designer, and I know that you NEVER release a sales deadline when you know there will be testing, Q.C. issues, shipping time factored in, etc until you know for damn sure that it is on the water. Now though with cargo containers you have Homeland Security holding parts in customs until they find the time to inspect them and give them the thumbs up.

That being said, it could be a while until these are on your cars. I have seen the OEM LEDs around here. They look great! So just sit back and wait.

I'm probably one of many people that would want a piece of this autowerks led taillight action but isn't too active on the forums and what not... but isn't it a bit ridiculous if they claim it has arrived or will be here "soon" when in fact it still has to go thru unpredictable process of testing and what not before it reaches the customers' hands.. So, technically, it won't arrive soon and technically, they aren't quite sure it will be here, am i correct?? Perhaps we could get a deadline or details on the testing process, perhaps a timline or something? i suppose all this could drive hype and demand.. and I understand autowerks just means well for the customers... but damn, waiting sucks, lol, i hope buying and waitinf for this item as a christmas present to myself will be timely =)

Seriously...you guys just need to go ebay. I have had my LEDs since May and they are perfect. I definately wouldn't hope for them by X-mas. They have been having problems getting them for over a year! You will probably sell your E46 by the time they come out..hahah
