black hella tail lights

[schnell944]

hey all,
I was wonderingn how to go about getting some black hella tail lights for my '90 535i as seen on this page http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/upgrade/Body.htm . my car is black and i think they would add a nice touch to it. willing to buy a used set off someone who no longer wants them. also, would be greatful to hear opinions of anyone who has put them on their own car or seen them on another.

I have a set put on my white car. They look grayish on a black car. But still looks great. They are hard to find. You can try BMP if they still carry it. The place I bought mine from went out of business, and I have called many place. The kit should come with add on rear fog light and reflectors. You can see it at http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jjw168/my_photos in "car" folder

Did your 540 come with the "City Lights" (parking lights in the headlamps), or did you install those yourself? Any info?

My 2 cents

I don't really like them, don't get me wrong they look good, I just don't like them. The idea of darkening the lights that tell other drivers to slow down behind you just seems a little foolish.

mmm, well, i figured, since mercedes and VW and im Jaguar, to name a few have implemented factory dark tail lights(by hella, most likely) i figured there wouldnt be too much of a compromise in lighting, the way the units were configured....i could be wrong.

holy cow! i guess i expected a price like that though. perhaps I'll look for some that may pop up in someones used parts sale or something
