Which Taillights?? Over Again!!!

niebyl2002 · 12-06-2009, 09:44 AM

Hi, I just got my E90 sedan, Alpine White. It has stock tailligts which I would like to upgrade.

I searched the forum already and saw that most of the owners upgrading to their lights to blacklines. While I like them a lot, I'm looking for something different with kind of OEM look.

When I was living in Germany there was an awesome store called D&W. I remember that they had Hella white, black, blue ...... taillights. However they don't offer them for e90 or at least I couldn't find them.

Anyway I was thinking about getting white or black taillights for my white bimmer. Before I'll buy them I would like to ask you for an opinion. Here's my goal I want them to look normal

not like cheap piece of junk.

See below attached pictures, does anybody bought those lights.

those all look like aids

ElegantSpoon · 12-06-2009, 12:55 PM

I like them

Would they cause any errors?

MalM3 · 12-06-2009, 12:58 PM

sorry, not for me

why not the Hella lamps

rkick08 · 12-06-2009, 12:59 PM

the first set does not look so bad, i would have to see it on a white car to give a better opinion.

niebyl2002 · 12-06-2009, 01:22 PM

I was hoping that someone already bought those lamps.

I got Boxster and bought from ebay those smoked clear taillights, didin't like them at all so I remove them after 3 weeks and bought OEM 550 speedster.

I'm worring I might have the same problem now, althought they look very good.

Anyone have any pics???

just4kickz · 12-06-2009, 01:44 PM

last image has the words "taco taco" on it... if that doesnt spell out cheap i dont know what does...

get blacklines or the ones from hella.

E92-Lighting · 12-06-2009, 02:46 PM

Depo Blacklines would be a great viable choice and also error free

SV Concepts III · 12-06-2009, 07:50 PM

Not a fan of those, if you like LED, we have them in clear or smoked that work well.

I recommend OEM blacklines

i think they are nasty. sorry.

ot but, why is your 328 emblem misplaced?

niebyl2002 · 12-29-2009, 08:50 PM

It is misplaced because the dealer was painting right rear quarter and the wonder boys at dealer stick the emblem this way. BTW I already debadge my bimmer.

I really appreciate your comment.

MooseCaboose · 12-29-2009, 09:34 PM

just grab a set of oem blacklines and call it a day. srsly, its common on e90post, but not in the real world. youll be standing out from all the other stock e90's in no time.

PlannBee · 01-01-2010, 03:42 AM

Those clear taillights are nasty!
Reminds me of the civics and accords that rocked them in the early 2000's.
They used to look cool but not anymore budd!
