keep checking eBay, crystal taillights pop up every now and then, unfortunately, there is not one single company that manufactures LED taillights

quick opinion if u guys dont mind.... as you can may notice i have a metallic silver bimmer. i wanted to get rid of the amber corners, cuz as you can see in my signiture, they stick out severely!!! my issue is the following... i personally dont like the OEM clears cuz they look a fuzzy white color, so my initial thought was to go with crystal clears but i fear they'll stick out too much as well. is my best bet to get smoked OEM clears??? (since i have black leather and plan to get tints)

Wont fit the ti.

OP: if you're interested, i'm giving away some nice depo corners that would fit nicely with your headlights. Here is a sample picture: http://www.speedstersource.com/REDCO...BMW_E36_02.jpg

All you have to do is pay for my gas and shipping.

Default LED tails

Yes, please someone buy them and tell us how they work out so I'll know if I should ask for them for Christmas or not!

Any news on the ebay LEDs? After Christmas I should have some money to spend on my car, and corners, sidemarkers, and tails are pretty high on my list. I want OEM clear tails but those seem impossible to find.
