So in my looking around for some LCI tail lights, I came across this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-07...Q5fAccessories

And in case the ebay post disappears:




Dunno what I think... I'd like to see them on a car though.

on a related note: Anyone have some OEM LCI tails they'd want to part with?

I've seen it on a bmw once, and it looked cheap. Real LCI is the way to go, looks sooo good. I put off buying them for 3 years because of the price but makes a huge difference.

I think they are the same lights that I have, but only clear ones.

Yup - I've read through that thread. I'm kinda tempted to get those.. They are indeed much cheaper.
What've you thought of them so far? I'm tempted, but what's putting me off is that little bit where the wing optical tubes(?) don't extend to. That "wrap around" is one of the things I always notice. But then again.. I haven't seen any e60's in person with the replica lights.. (Or have I? )

I like them, but I wouldn't like them as much without Bruce's cables. OEM is OEM and it looks better, but as said, much more expensive as well.

Don't do it. Get OEM LCI with Bruce v6 cables or the ones Anzafin has.

I have the same ones as Anzafin, I love em. It was hard for me to justify $700-1000 for lights, still kind of boggles my mind.
