Those are pretty nice. I'm thinking about getting these though:

seriously though, the OEM euro clears are not much more than the ones you linked and look much nicer IMO.

The color lines dont even match the body's lines, pass, go with OEM.

hahaha, nah I was just kidding about those. Mine are OEM, they even have tiny little BMW roundels molded into them. Note how the styling line on the rear quarter panel and hatch line up perfectly with the seam on the tail light lens:


Makes for a much cleaner look IMO.

+2, because I'm a Gemini.

Go with the OEM style.

performance island, do you have any more pics, like one straight on from behind? jess that was my main reason for asking for pics. because when i first looked at these lights i could tell the body line wouldent match up and i wanted to see exactly how it would look. i like the oem because they have the upper body line where the white and red seperated, but i hate how the red has a body line in it to.

the red/white line separating does not match the line on the car, big deal, the light still has the indentation just like the car, everyone that sees my car thinks its a 2000+ car because of my crystal clear lights like cars in the 2000+ years have.

May not be a big deal to you, but personally I think those look like cheap Chinese garbage. To each his own though, if you like them, that's all that matters.

I don't think they look that bad, regular E36's don't even have the body line matching up with the turn signal anyway, I'd like them better if they were LED though
