They're clean...crystal clear all the way around, so no more of the red checkered pattern look under the lens like the stock ones you posted. Make sure to keep us updated and put up pics of each side, one stock and one aftermarket for comparison.

Would any of these work on a 2006?...most of them say 2001-2005, but no 2006...I thought the facelift came with the 2004 model, so why aren't 2006 covered? Thx

Hey Artman the link is too old to work, but what was the name of the seller on ebay? Or do you have a newer link that works? Thanks... i like these and in need of some replacements as my Driver side is working intermittently.

ok I bought them from ebay number 8 on the list but their site is here

00 01 02 03 04 05 BMW E53 X5 Euro Tail Lights - Red/Smoke



thats the lights too. but mine (as same as the link above) looks like you have to buy from them directly. but i found these on ebay and they look the same just no tint i believe.

00-05 BMW X5 E53 EURO RED CLEAR TAIL LIGHTS 01 02 03 04: eBay Motors (item 190443070754 end time Sep-15-10 21:51:34 PDT)

and this one

00-05 BMW E53 X5 EURO TAIL LIGHTS REAR LAMPS RED CLEAR: eBay Motors (item 190443085628 end time Sep-15-10 23:01:32 PDT)

but i cant find mine on there but heres their ebay contact

[email protected]

00-05 BMW E53 X5 Euro Tail Lights - Red/Smoke item #LT-X500RG-KS

and ask them if they can auction it. I paid total 104.99 with shipping. not a bad price. but current price is 136 with shipping ...so 32 bucks more. but their actually brighter then my OEM and i got these because of the way the lights are i mean the contacts form the back. I like that type and I hated the crap from BMW that actually almost cought on fire. Mine melted all the way and turned black and i had burnt plastic smell comming from the back so go figure its the taillights burning. anyway

im realy happy their barely tinted but very bright. Ill try to take some night shots in a bit.

side note. they also came with all the bulbs and the trunk came with the rear fogs too but i have buy the new euro light switch that comes with rear fog button and ill have a functional rear fogs!!!
