E90 F10 Style Tails - Review

Update 4 - 8/28/15

Some new pics

Has anyone had any experience with these?

They are a great price and look fantastic, just curious about fitment, quality of seals, bulb errors, etc.

http://www.thespeedline.us/servlet/t...-Series/Detail

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-Clear-Le...4a8463&vxp=mtr

Update 1: tails arrived

Update 2: Installed and happy

I am very happy with how these turned out, the fitment is spot on. No Errors since it has resistors (all came with double sided tape ready to go), install was very easy and it came its own hardware for the inner lights and you re-use 3 bolts per side on the outside lights.

As far as the company that sells these I was pretty impressed, I got mine off that link on ebay and the company is pretty legit. I called them after I got them because there was a small piece of tape floating around inside one of the inner lights. I asked about a getting an exchange but I didn't end up needing one since I shook the tape out of the bulb socket hole.

They have a phone number right on Ebay and a customer service rep picked up the phone right away and gave me clear instructions on how to get an exchange if needed.

Overall very happy with these lights and would definitely recommend them.

Oh and in regards to the clear/white on the top half, I actually kind of like it right now but if it gets old I found red laminex for e90 tails that would work great in turning them all red.

Let me know if anyone has any questions!

Update 3 - April 18th - Pics Page 3

Bought some Laminx that was precut to my tailight size, trimmed off the bottom half since that part of the tails are already red. Cut a small cutout for reverse light.

Next step is to buy LED Blinkers and LED Revers Lights and they should be done!

Yeah Ive seen Khai's (blueaudi18) E92 with them custom molded, looks soooo nice in person.

I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on these tails though, I think they would look great on a white car. I just dont want them to leak/bulb errors etc

That looks good. And the price is totally worth a try. Buy it with a MasterCard or Visa signature so you can get purchase protection and extended warranty for free.

I know right, I am definitely pulling the trigger so I will let you guys know once I receive them and how the install goes.

Just out of curiosity how do either of those payment methods get you an extended warranty?

You may want to contact your bank to confirm the perks and see if they have a special process to get extended warranty. From my experience, most mastercards and Visa Signatures have those perks

if they only had two light bars it would be perfect. three is a little busy for me but like others have said, they look clean and will definitely update the back of an e90 pre lci.

Just not a fan of these. The led bottom and OEM non-led upper sections look terrible together IMO.

I can agree to this, but not terrible enough for me not to consider them. I was about to start looking for a set of blacklines for my car, but this isnt that bad of a look. I'd love to see how they come out on the OPs car if/when he gets them.
