OEM Blacklines vs Aftermarket

SG07 · 06-06-2010, 01:51 AM

What is the difference between OEM Blacklines and aftermarket ones such as those from Bimmian or **********s?

Aftermarket ones are darker.

i first put on BMW's blacklines 18 months ago.
i just put on Jlevis LED blackline for just over $200.
fitment is just like OEM, perfect. they look and work great. GL

Aftermarket blacklines are definitely darker than from OEM blacklines

The DEPO Black line tail lights are a hue darker than the OEM tail lights. The smoked lenses are a great compliment to darker colored cars, dark tint, black window trim, and smoked corners.
