My old taillights are just that, old. I wanted to get possibly a new style like the all red ones or red/white, just anything to delete the amber and I'd prefer not just filming over them (however I did consider this). So, my knowledge states that our front end is a Sedan, and the rear is a Compact, nothing else. Are coupe or sedan taillights compatible or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and film mine?

You can get Euro Ti tails or nightshade em. There are aftermarket tails available...LED and garbage roundies. Personally I like the US factory tails just as they are. __________________ | | | 08-22-2012, 05:58 AM | #3 | Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: South St. Louis, MO Posts: 60 | Quote: Originally Posted by Mr.Squeelerz Ti tail lights are Ti specific.

Turner has them for a decent price http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-6-...light-set.aspx __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) | | | 08-27-2012, 04:28 PM | #5 | Member Join Date: Jun 2012 Location: Manchester UK Posts: 36 | Quote: Originally Posted by indiejack Dang, and yeah I wouldn't dream of getting the ricer tails I'll have to see what the Euro tails look like, and see some nightshade end results. | Here you got a nice pic of my euro from the rear i quite like the rear lights. | | | 08-27-2012, 04:44 PM | #6 | Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: South St. Louis, MO Posts: 60 | Quote: Originally Posted by KillBilly Here you got a nice pic of my euro from the rear i quite like the rear lights. | Nice! That is the look I'm going for, now to source them. Thanks for the photo KillBilly! | | | 08-27-2012, 06:15 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | Pelican sells them here for about $155/pair. | | | 08-27-2012, 07:24 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | The tail lights on Pelican are the exterior lenses only. The ebay ones appear to have both the exterior lens and interior trim panel (US spec. cars have the same interior light). I've actually tried to order from that same seller in the past and they would not ship to the US. You might want to verify if they will ship these to the states before you purchase.

Thanks in advance all! | You can also try led taillights they work pretty well Last edited by Swydyn; 12-04-2012 at 07:18 AM. | | | 12-03-2012, 08:13 AM | #13 | Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: South St. Louis, MO Posts: 60 | I like the look of the euro style that's all clear up top, that may be my choice but it's going to have to wait till spring at this point, I've blown my budget for 2012, lol. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
