Evening lads and lasses.

Don't actually own an E36 as of right now but I am contemplating it, and have started cruising the PH classifieds now and again, as you do!
There really is an obscene number of 3-series ads in there... something like 100 new ones added every 24hrs! eek

Anyway, I saw this one, and it jumped out at me a bit as I've never seen these rear lights before... the rest of the car is a bit chavtacular but these look really nice, almost OEM-ish look? Makes it look a bit more modern I think, and I'd quite fancy a set for myself, if anybody knows where they come from...



I found these from a US company but they aren't quite the same, look at the size of the clear section at the bottom, on the black car they stretch along the full width but on this they don't. Also these are a bit horrid looking with all the LED wry.



Has anybody seen anything similar or can point me in the right direction? boxedin

Thanks for your help, as I said above the second set are indeed horrid; the first set I can't see clearly enough to judge properly (hence asking for more info so I can make a more informed decision). Design wise the top set so far as I can see differ from OEM only in that the top 2/3s are red and the bottom 1/3rd white, as opposed to the other way around confused

The best looking lights on the e36 are the M3 coupe/saloon ones. Pretty much anything which is aftermarket will look terrible.

Precisely. Basically BMW got it right with the E36, 99% of aftermarket mods look cack.
