What do you think about these taillights?

[ArtMan]

So, my old taillights have finally started to fail. What i mean is that the contacts have rusted away and after soldering they worked for a while but they rusted again and this caused the plastic holding the contacts to melt and its just time to replace them. so i was looking at ebay to either get original euro sport clear look or i saw these

what do you think? if you've seen better or have suggestions let me know im open!!!

oh right about my x5 that would help....its a 2003 3.0i sapphire black...i like 3 its nice but the smoked one looks ok.

ok so i like 3, and 7 OEM, but i like 4 the slightly smoked one then i found 8 which looks the same just no horizontal slit .....hmmmm

[sethro]

Go with the crystal ones (Number 3) looks clean IMO the others look to busy, you want people looking at your X not your tail lights

Options 7 is also a good choice

[ZsX5o3]

Agree with #3 otherwise OEM for sure

[m5james]

I like 3 the most also. 4 I don't like because i've never liked how they put a horizontal slat in the tailgate reflectors...it makes the taillights look like they should have the same horizontal slit.

I don't know how link 6 is pricing wise compared to buying them seperately, but those headlights are terrible.

[Weasel]

Kinda depends on the color of the X5 as well as the mod scheme.

[powers1]

It all depends on the colour of your X really!I always for updated oem stuff,so #3 would be choice.However,I must say that #4 is very appealing and is about the best smoked lights I have seen as the only have a slight smoke tint...

[m5james]

The smoked blinkers on 4 are nice, but that extra slit just added to the tailgate doesn't match up w/ a similar line on the taillights themselves, making it also look like you've mixed and matched two sets of taillights. The lines should be the same all the way across or not at all. At least on the 3 set, the horizontal line doesn't touch the taillights and stays closer to the inside of the tailgate, which looks more common.

[ArtMan]

hey m5james, how about number 8 they look oem, clear and the blinker is still smoked?

[m5james]

Oh yeah, those look nice...just enough tint to look stylish yet still functional.

[ArtMan]

yea i like the slight about of tint....i mean all blacked out looks nice but you loose to much function....and at the moment for the price its listed at $77 its not bad so i think number 8 is the best overall....ill be looking around a little more but so far 8 is the winner.
