Hey UncleFodder,

Did you get the tinted or non-tinted version? I'm planning on getting the tinted version so please still post your installed results.

Thanks.
I went for clear - I've just never been a fan of tinted lights. This will be going on my black '07 550i. Tracking shows I should have mine on Tuesday.

Humm... I would be kind of cautious of the statement of selling hundreds. If that were the case, you would think that us 5ers would have seen them on roads and found them long ago. Perhaps just a mouthy salesman, but who knows.
+1. You would think out of those few hundreds that ONE of those buyers would be on this forum voicing his find. Not trying to discourage the group buy, but as I've seen some gb's go bad (Mtech kits from QuadM, AFE etc.) I would suggest one person buying the lights and trying them out, but have all of the members of the group buy pitch in a few bucks. After all, does everyone know the vendor well? Will the lights function as desired? Will they leak or malfunction during normal use? I'd hate to see everyone spend a few hundred bucks, just to get an item they can't use, and can't return. Yes, I know the vendor said you can return if they throw an error, but what if they leak, crack, or fade? Just looking out, but good luck !

Sounds like a great idea! Anyone who'd like to send me a couple bucks for being the guinea pig on this, I'd gladly publish my Paypal account...

All good points. But for approx $200.00 if these lights fail 3 months down the road for whatever reason....I would just reinstall my oem tails and move on to the next mod.

Good for you. Others might say I spent $200 for nothing, which is my point. Its not a huge sum of money, but to some it still matters. Like I said, I'm not trying to talk you out of the GB, just warning you of what I think could happen; and giving a suggestion of way to get to an end product for a minimal cash outlay.

I'm sure a lot of people on the list won't pull the trigger until final results and pics and review. =)

I'll be ordering and picking up a set today during my lunch break.

We'll see how this works out soon enough.
