New style aftermarket tails

So now there are diffused led bar tail lights for the E53. Anyone have them? Curious to see how they look on.

I like the design of the outer half, especially the way they light up but i'm not a fan of that huge clear/white strip.

I would love to see a set of 'E39 Touring Style' tail lights for our X.
You know, the ones where the celis bars go all the way into the tailgate.

I think they will look better with the light extended to the liftgate piece. It would be challenging since we have no wire to power it.
