Default Corner & Tail Light Questions

  • Will the front corner lights from an E36 coupe fit on the ti?
  • Where's the best (read: least expensive) source for clear tails?
  • Anyone selling 95 orange turn/side lights? If so, please PM me.

  • No, Sedan (4 door)
  • eBay (you did say least expensive) See what Bill/Towson can get them for.

Going to have to ban your sig. It has a trunk!

Thanks, Steven...will definitely ask Bill about the side markers. As for the eBay tails, the ones I've seen are the cheesy Altezza-looking ones. I wanted original-looking ones, where the clear part is more opaque than "crystal".

I'd be concerned with fitment of off eBay. What about Bekkers?

Have you tried the dealer? a lot of people think they are expensive, but i am sure the clear corners were cheaper than a lot of, if not all of the aftermarket places. You will also get the req'd factory look. Worth a phone call. It also helps if you get on well with the parts guy. dont be afraid to ask if they can do anything off of there quote either.

I ordered a right clear corner light for a 328i.
82-19-9403-094 and it doesn't fit.
A 328i is a sedan, right?

328's came as saloons and coupes and convertibles. according to my etk disc, the part number you have is for a coupe. Try 82-199-403-095(LHS) or 096(RHS) they should be for a saloon.
