license plate lights stolen

johnniewalker · 07-22-2011, 03:48 AM

I went to play pool today in MIX2 (Denison and Kennedy, Not going never again to this place)

So, when i came out and went to my car i got a SURPRISE! -->There was a bird shit on my car hood.

So i decided to go to my trunk for some water and tissue to clean that SHIT,
When i was at the trunk, i found another SURPRISE! ---> My license lights were stolen , leaving the wires out ! The worst thing was that the guy who did it, scratched my car when he was disconnecting it.
It was not a big financial lost, but i felt like crying.

Damn !!!!!!!!

So, it is not a surprise that someone will steal license lights (which i found out that are really easy to disconnect, takes less then 1 min if you know how to do it)

I learnt my lesson today , if you love your car, keep it in your sight 24/7.

So, to all members that have those lights or something that is easy to disconnect, keep your car in a spot where you can see it and take good care of it.

Cuz it feels like &^%$&** if something happens to it .

Wtf? Did you have LED lights or just the OEM's? Why would someone steal these?

JunkStory · 07-22-2011, 07:41 AM

Wow this is the first time hearing it. Stealing license light??? People are getting sadder and sadder everyday.

These lights fit E46 too I think, so it's not necessary one of our own.
I have M-TEC lights myself and a put a blob of silicone when I was putting them on. Every little bit helps.

hey i need to buy lights like that!!!

nemo07 · 07-22-2011, 12:50 PM

That is just sad whoever did that. Feel your pain man.

DESI4life10 · 07-22-2011, 01:41 PM

This has to be a fellow bmw driver that did this. Such a weird thing to steal unless you needed it for your car.

johnniewalker · 07-22-2011, 02:02 PM

The two lights + taxes cost 55 bucks. It's not a big deal of the money.
But my car is only 2 months old, for me she is brand new.
That's why it hurts, so much !

Yeah , that is what i learnt.

This didnt happen at night, it was around 7:30 when i came out.
The photo was taken after work, when i decided to post it and let everyone know and be aware of this situation.

mad villain · 07-22-2011, 04:21 PM

thats harsh man!
but now it gives u a reason to get some LED replacement lights if u want! (gotta try n look on the bright side....no pun intended :P)

issabmw · 07-22-2011, 04:24 PM

Hope he rots in hell.

Good luck on the lights bud.

Andy M · 07-22-2011, 04:32 PM

Wow, this is just shameful. The LED upgrade for the lights isn't that much too!! Some people are just plain disrespectful.

JunkStory · 07-22-2011, 06:39 PM

Yea the OEM license LED has a greenish tint which I don't like. I am using aftermarket ones which has a bluish tint.. looks much better at night. I got mine from ebay which only has 2 or 3 LED's per side (forgot how many) so it's not overly bright and ricey.

Nugget64 · 07-22-2011, 07:07 PM

what a sad pathetic thing to do.. I would be livid if that happened to me.. sorry to hear bud.. see ya at the BBQ if ya decide to show

CHCCubs · 07-25-2011, 01:06 PM

Wow that's brutal. I live close to that area, but thankfully haven't been to that plaza in quite a few years.
