Those are not the lights, although Ventuno does use a similar design, they use cheaper leds in their units and the wiring is very cheap. The light pattern also doesn't match the Brabus style of lighting. The led grade is very inconsitent causing one unit to be brighter than the next which causes a wierd faded pattern. This is one of the many kits I researched before deciding on the final kit. Who'd wanna pay $160 bucks for something that crappy?!

The units I have are full aluminum and do afix to the sideskirt of the car. The wiring and plugs are a much better grade and isn't something you'd see from the local radio shack. :p It's a complete kit with box wiring.

Kineda is right !, We have tested many of similar product and the ventuno light is very unstable, one of the LED cluster in the sets sometime will be dimmer than the other. Believe me the ones that Kineda has is much better.

Plus the projection angle is incorrect, and they are not as bright as the one Kineda sells.
