:thumbup: 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.

Well, I just placed an order and used the bing 8% ebay cashback which is like 5 bucks but hey thats not a bad price....but it should be here in a week so ill post pictures!

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

I knw its been a while but i finally installed the lights i bought. They were number 8 on the list and its pouring rain so i can t take pictures but tomorrow ill take some and post.

Ill post night time shots in a hour.

Looks MUCH better how is the light output?

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

00-05 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!!!

ok here are some night shots. (Im not the best night photographer)

so its in this order

No flash and No Brake then With Flash and No Brake

No Flash with Brake then Flash with Brake

Very bright! looks like you have the brake light mixed up. The primary brake light should be the bottom cell.

Reason being its easier for traffic behind you to see if your indicating to change lanes or merge.
