New Tail Lights

[AW8]

Not for me. A few years ago I quite liked the look of such rear. The early partial OE clears as on the IS200 looked fine but by the time the the Mk2 Rx300 rolled off the line as I felt ones even OE units can look too much. Now these have been retro fitted onto all sorts of UK cares and sadly often thoise driven by undesirebales or what we in the Uk would call Chavmobiles. If it were my money I'd resist the tempation as may cheapen the image of the car. As with many cars when they become cheaper used then more people will do mods with the E53 being no exception. If mods are not not done tastefully the overall effect can displease. Please please please do not take this personally just my honest view re these
units but not you and not your car.


A more sobering option being considered by others on here is http://www.xoutpost.com/group-buys/11...lights-x5.html

or the facelift ones if you can justify the expense for little difference. You mention 4.8is but AFAIK all facelift sport pack cars will have these. I'm sure i'll be told if I am wrong anyway another link below.

That is soooo ugly. Anyone who has seen the clear look Celis rear lamps installed on an E39 will understand what I mean.
