Theres a 5 series with Hella clear lights in Stratford upon avon (its a taxi) and they look pretty crap tbh.
I prefer the other hella light where its smoked slightly. Either that or OEM.

FWIW, I dislike all the boy-racer affectations of after-market add-ons, especially when applied to the non-high-performance models. Why I have always loved BMW Hi-Perf models is their low-key subtlety. Only if the trooper is savvy enough to notice the low profile stance (at high speed) will he have any idea that it is anything other than a boulevardier.
And frankly, when I see the kid-in-a-12-yo-Honda look applied to a BMW, it irks me; you're blowing my stealth rocket cover--and chances are very good that he doesn't even have the rocket part.

Must agree to this
The more I look at old BMW's like the E36 coup? or cabrio or the E34 and E39 the more I love those cars
with only nice OEM wheel (they canbe a inch or two higher and OEM lowered) and of course all the M-models,
but those stricktly standard.

I don't have a scanner at home so i just took a quick photo. The white balance is screwed up but you'll get the idea. It's understated but sharp:
Thanks for the pic, I tried but couldn't find any. I don't think that's the look I'm after, however.
