Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it! One thing is for sure as I already stated! If it fits and doesn't look right or doesn't match or go in line with the outer tail light, I most definitely WILL NOT fit it!
However, if it does look right and can be fitted, then I am pretty sure it will not be as difficult as fitting a face lift front grill on my preface lift..

Regarding your comment about the e70 inner light looking out of place on the E53! It's the opinion of a lot that the inner light on the E53
Looks out of place.

The wiring difference is the least problem.

Let's await and see!
