I was doing an ebay search for e36 clear corners, and I noticed that all of the auctions say that they only fit up to '98.
Did they change the side markers in '99? I want to make sure I don't order the wrong ones.
Also, are there any reputable internet shops where you guys buy parts? |  |  | | 02-03-2008, 08:04 AM | #2 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |
I don't think they changed, just make sure that you get get the sedan/4dr corners as coupe and convertible corners won't fit. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 02-03-2008, 03:12 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 |
its mainly because the e46 model was introduced in mid 98
so they age the e36 only as late as 98 usually __________________

Get quality corner lights. I've read too many stories of cheap ass corner lights flying off. __________________ ...steven
