I am going to let the pictures do the talking here... A few facts:
1. Original Hella
2. Straight from Germany
3. Diadem bulbs create iridescent look during the day time with the lights off...
4. Totally unique - I have NEVER seen this on a car before
[pls post pix if you've got them!]

I believe jbspeed our taiwanese vendor carries these and has them on his car. I noticed them on a pic that he sent me regarding a CF spoileer and ask about them seems they run regular bulbs but just is clear.

Nope..according to the Hella GmBH website, they are called diadem bulbs--have a oil film like rainbow color to them in the sun...you can see that in the picture as well....

Wow--haven't seen those before...

No--these are NON LCI and are an option for those of us in the pre-LCI era that is much more cost effective than the entire LCI light package + Bruce's cable..... I like the red line especially in these lights; looks v cool and matches the Eruo reflectors nicely.

I haven't seen this on anyones car...it's sure to turn heads....

Are you serious? These look awful on the E60. Clear tail lights are very boy racer.

One word:


RICE

Am I the only one that LIKES the stock tail lights how they are? Not smoked, tinted, clear, or otherwise.
