These are a set of tail lights. I read somewhere that if u put new taillights in, an error message will always appear on the OBC? Is this true? Well here they are:

I think these lights simply suck because they remind me of japanese imported cars, which I don't necessarily hate, but to me the style of these lights does not match the classical e34 thematic...

Lights like that give your car a bad name. Please do not put your car through that! I think the consensus is going to be no those lights are uglier than liza minnelli

Wow. I've seen some really horrible crap for these cars -- wings, spinning wheel covers, neon lights, the list is long -- but these things... wow. Unspeakably hideous.

I think that puts me in the 'no' column, eh?

its not replacing the tailights.those comments were meant for the led ones the other day.the lkm or ccm is expecting a certain resistance and we also think the resistance of each side may be compared.the led ones just wouldnt match with the system is expecting/was designed for

alpina emblems? did you buy those or did they come on the car...

to do proper justice to those lenses, you will need to swap out the grill for the new style chrysler 300M, a tall spoiler in back, and retrofit the old Jaguar spoke rims.

Oh and paint the car lemon yellow.

Its alot of work and money I know, but it will make those lenses look truly awsome.

i brought them on ebay. i wanted my car to look diff. from the rest of the people around my area. I also got the steering wheel emblem. Didnt want to get the wheel emblems because i plan on getting different rims.

Truly the ugliest tail-lights ever.....Hey why waste money?? I'll bash your red Hella tail-light lenses for ya and cover them with Saran wrap for you for $5. Buy some water color paint and paint your bulbs red. Good to go!

these are too new looking to suit the e34 i think.. i'd still like to see some mounted to see how they look though

yeah i think they look a little out of place on my car. By the way nice photoshoppin' skillz there. LOL! It really gave me a good idea.

see, they could have made them look presentable, but went all "i can see the bulb!" and ****ed it up. HOWEVER, if they were all smoked clear with DENSE LEDS, they would actually look nice

Dude, I have a feeling your car is going to fall victim to The San Francisco Treat. The clear corners and fake Alpina badges are the start of bad things to come....
