Beware: eBay Smoke Side Marker

JWadle · 07-27-2007, 08:02 PM

This listing on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...QQcmdZViewItem

for a

2006+ BMW E90/E91 4D EURO SMOKE Side Marker+Chrome Bulb

looks great but unfortunately does not fit the U.S. 2007 E90. The light housing is a bit smaller than OEM and its mounting points (bulb housing, clip) are too far back, leaving the (unused) round hole in the fender uncovered.

I wound up using the included silver bulbs in the OEM housings instead.

Thanks for the headsup!

Thanks for the tip. Have you alerted eBay about this?

I was thinking about buying a set of these, decided to tint the origionals with VHT Niteshades... I'll try to post some pics when I'm done.

Notified seller via email and left feedback warning of problem. Seller has never responded.
