    Default Anyone seen these tail lights on an E34?



    Not sure I'd like them, I'm not too keen on the more common crystal lights where the reverse lights and indicators form on clear strip along the middle. I think the part of the light fitted to the boot is too long on the E34 for those to work well (they're based on the E46 style which has much shorter boot lights).

    These ones are the same design in terms of light location as the original lights, except with the crystal effect. Could make the car more modern from the back if it looks reasonably "original".

    Here are the other style of lights I'm talking about, I've seen a pic of these installed and I'm not too keen:

    i like the normal clears the best, the ones you posted make the car wrong IMO.

    Hi Paul,

    I am in two minds about the crystal lights. the "newer" one you have shown with the lighting as it "should" be seems a much better answer. I would like to see a led version with clears and reds as the original e34. I think that coupled with clear led side markers and clear led front turn signals would be awsome...just a thought tho..mabe it wouldn't...

    I haven't seen the first ones before but I'd consider buying them, I'd have to see them fitted on a car first though. The reverse light looks a little weird tho.. Do you know who makes them? I want to replace my smoked hella lights with clears, but most normal clears only come with the outer lights as you should already have red inner lights.. But my inner lights are black so those crystals would be ideal.
    Don't like the second ones at all.

    I think the forum should have a quarantined section for 'Bling' mods completely separate from threads with taste!

    Better still sell the Bimmer and buy a Riceburner. Then you can 'BLING' yourself to death!!
