Tail gate lights

My hatch/tailgate light lenses were looking terrible.
They were crazed and dull. I bought a new set from Amazon.
The manufacturer was Depo. The quality and fit was perfect.
About 60 dollars a side delivered. They came with lightbulb and
holders. I'm pleased with the new look.
I have a deal for someone who needs a serviceable set.

Nice! Mine are hazed up too. Held off ordering new ones as I am still thinking of getting LED tails that come with tailgaye lenses already.

Do you have a link for these? I've seen a few tailgate lenses only for sale before but they were either OE or used.

Found them on Amazon, thanks!

Kinda steep at $60 per side. There are whole sets including the outers for that price, and for a little more you can get an LED set.

My head lights polished fine, even though it only lasts ~1 year without the original UV protect coating.

But the tail lights mounted in trunk lower lid, do NOT polish & clean up ? What's up with that?

Looking at about $120 each to buy genuine OEM BMW repalcements ... Grrr.

I think with the way cars are nowadays its always better to pick LED's up for tail lights. Look amazing on the e53.
