Clear Rear lights and clear side indicators

Hi all,

What are the best clear rear lights to go for to upgrade from the yellow indicator type? Do you think the following are any good? I had some unofficial rear clusters on a 7-Series, and the quality was awful.

Hi
Had no experience with them myself but they look exactly the same as my OEM ones at less than half the price as well I bet.

Regards
Orinoco

I paid about the same for mine except they were from a german seller - maybe see if any come up on UK from a german seller....

I was really impressed with the quality and have had them on for 2 years with no moisture ingress.

Why only 96-99 Z3's? Do the newer models have different size rears?

get them from Germany ! they send it to all european union and they're very ok ...

don't get me wrong, they're most probably made in china, but everything is ... and they look like the oem ones.

i fitted mine and had no problems until now ...

Just to let you know, the ones purchased off Ebay from ultimate-lighting, are very nice lights, extremely good value for money for a brand new set for £70. The quality is spot on and the fit is perfect. They utilise the OEM bulb holders too, so no issues there either. Definitely recommended for anyone thats after a set.
