No, I live in the greatest country in the world! Plenty on ebay, e.g.

bmw e60 LCI NSR passenger side rear tail light genuine hella light | eBay

Message him saying you want a pair and offer 100 each and ask for combined shipping, I'm sure he'd accept.

Better as in what? Looks, built, quality, illumination. I would say the Depo is better on the wallet. So far it's the closest I've seen to the OEM (made by Hella) LCI look than any other light set.

They are - BMW's lights are made by Hella, these ones are an alternative made by Depo, and seem almost identical to the Hella's, which is why they're such a good deal.

If you are in San Jose, I can give you a hand

Installation is very simple: each light has 3 nuts and a connector. Not quite remember what side probably 7 or 8mm nuts. Just remove them and slab on the new lights. there are 2 set of resistors packs, one for each light. There is only one way to connect them, so you won't in anyway can't connect them. Took me only 1/2 hr to swap them bad boys.

Maybe I were lucky or something. I don't quite know how many have installed these lights after this thread. But so far there are 2 bad set from this thread. Mine was smooth sailing not anything wrong with them what so ever.

Please share your installation if you are using these Depo's lights
