I would have to see them in person to know if I like them. I think I am partial to the red. But, if you like them, then I like them for you. They certainly don't look bad--just not my taste I suspect.

Znod,
He did solicit our opinion. His exact words "What do you think?" I'm not a big fan myself of the clear tail lights nor the smoked ones either. I like the tail lights just the way they are.

When I lived in Germany E60 was a dime a dozen. It was like "who didn't have a BMW 5 series" It was something different in that enviornment. Everyone liked them in Europe, but I guess it is a different opinion in the states. I like them, but I am getting bored with them.
