    Default Is Bavarian Autosport overpriced?

    I'm looking at getting clear parking lights for my E34. I can find them for about $20 on eBay, but they cost $79 at www.bavauto.com - and they aren't even OEM. What should I be paying for quality clear parking lights?

    I think BAS is overpriced, but I couldn't tell you where to pick up a set of clearcorners for a song and have them last.

    BAS seems to cater to the affluent yuppie types who pick up a 3 or a 5 on a two year lease. Just my perception....

    best, whit

    the ones on ebay are probably made by the same manufacturer and bav marks them up. I got clears on ebay and all in all they work OK.

    Corners for 39$

    Clear/smoked corners, clear/smoked headlights, clear/smoked tail lights!


    the corners are cheap, but the headlights and tail lights are i'll-buy-a-new-car-instead exepsnive.. can't tell you for certain about the quality, but it looks good, and the tailights (headlights?) are Hella.

    I picked up my set from abrahamsmotorsport. The clear tails are hella and clear corners are TYE brand - which seem to be holding out fine. Good price good service....and "no" I haven't gotten around to changing the orange bulbs yet....

    I think Bavauto is overpriced. They're a 40min drive from me though so what I pay in markup is saved in shipping so it all evens out.

    They sell quality parts though.. Aside from their springs, I haven't heard any complaints.
