If we all wanted an OEM look, we wouldn't be modding our cars.

I think these look pretty good. A better value than the angelibrights IMHO. I just hope it doesn't strobe or cause poor FM reception.

if the reverse lights are near the turn signals... then i'm out, plus it doesn't look OEM anymore, because look on the side of the tail lights, normally we have one "bump", but on this tail light, it has several...

i didn't mean OEM in that sense... i'm just talking about the tail lights here , its just that i think the original tail light, with its shape and detail, looks nice already, all we need is the LED. This one offers the LED but changes the detail a little bit which, i just don't prefer over the original.

Maybe not. Look at the turn light it has two bulbs / sections. One is orange and the other is chrome.
I think you're right. Wow, you guys are very observant

What happened to the reverse light? Looks interesting but where the heck is the reverse light???
The reverse light is on the left side of the turn signal. You can change the turn signal or reverse light to 1157 LED bulbs.

Browsing through ebay and I found these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LED-Tail-Li...004173178QQrdZ1



I just wish the turn signals were LED also.

Who's going to be the 1st to buy/test these out??!!
I always worry when the ads have misspelled words like desinged in them. Were they desinged :thumbsdown: by a professional de-singer like Tony De Bennett. I'll wait for something with a BMW stamp on it!
