forgive me for trying to help a brotha out. But if you want, you can buy 1 from him, and get another one else cheap new maybe on ebay so that way you save money in the end. I've seen some single clear tails on ebay from time to time. Hope that helps

No dude its not like that. I wasn't hating. I appreciate the help. Sorry if it sounded like I was being ungrateful. Sounds like a good idea. Now the search for a single right taillight begins.

those don't look "OEM"... are they?? They look different from mine, could be angle though too i suppose.

I got my OE tails for a smoking price here a few months ago, guess I lucked out good.

hmm. Is it just me or is the top right part (where reverse light is) of the left one not clear? it seems blue to me. Is is transparent from that edge instead of the white shade of is that just a reflection. The right one looks fine. In the case that its just a weird effect and they are like most other euro tails then I might go with them. Frankly this seems a lot easier than BMW Hatchback's idea of getting the left one from chepas and finding the right one on ebay. First of all it will be next to impossible to find just the right one on ebay (specially for someone as impatient and lacking in ebay search skills as me)for a decent price and hope that it matches perfectly with the one chepas is selling and have the total come out to less than the deal your guy is giving. So ya enough rambling. just need the answer to the question i posed at the beginning.

Yeah mine are OEM too and Marv's do seem a little different. I got mine for 100 bucks on ebay, well 120 shipped but they have the little BMW roundels stamped on them and came complete with the inner panel and bulbs. They were brand new and I just got extremely lucky. Mine seem more white, while Marv's look clear?

Yeah, I know I need chrome bulbs for my brake lights. They're on my list.

IIRC, he has a blue bulb for the reverse light. Lazoh has the same thing. Anyway, OP I think you're gonna have a hard time finding a set of used tails. Most people who have them probably wouldn't want to part with them because they are kinda hard to find. The ones Marv mentioned look great and are pretty close to OEM. Not a bad deal IMO. Good luck either way.

[Marv17]

its not different. the bulb just has a blue cover on it so when i reverse it just lights up blue. trust me its oem sh!t. i wouldnt buy anything of quality bad for the lights. learned my lesson once already and i wouldnt do it again.

[Marv17]

okay. here are these pics of the oem lights.

Dang thats such a good deal. From reading your thread on the s52 swap, i get the feeling that you seem to an inhuman ability to get the most amazing deals on stuff for everything. So it's only natural for me to ask you if you have any lsds in your sights for a good deal.
IIRC you acquired a lot of them during your swap??


as for the tails, i like them and $154 shipped sounds nice to me. i think ill go for em.
