I was wondering if anyone knows which website has the best price for clear tail, corner and side lights. The only place i know of is bavauto.com ...... but 200+ bucks for clear tails seems a little steep to me. Thanks for the help, Andrew

You could try ebay I am sure they are on there.

dont buy cheap ****, it's just that, cheap. the seals arent that great, and it can just go downhill fast. i went through 3 pairs of cheap clear corners in abotu 2 months before getting a quality set for like $35 bucks.


spend it now or spend it later it will still be the same amount of $. get Hella if you can.

one of the seals sucks, the other is ok, i just have to push it back in the car once a week. Hellas will go in there when i have $$$ and fixed all other problems bothering me.

I have Depos as well, they are fine and have been on the car for a couple of months.

They are cheaper made, you will be able to tell when you swap out your OEM. There are horror stories in many threads on this forum though (not necessarily with Depos, but with other cheapos), if you shell out a bit more cash and get Hellas, you will be much happier.

The cheapest doesn't always mean the best.

Good question, other than the stealers I don't really know, my little corner of the world is over-run with cheap-ass nasty **** manufactured in China and Taiwan :(

As stated earlier, cheapest doesn't mean the best. After seeing both Hella and several other cheapos and Depos, the Hellas have the best light output (comparing with same type bulb), they have the best reflectors, and the seals last. I know when you have a cheapo b/c if there are amber bulbs in them, they will look pink. :p

Buying the correct part is a one time swap because they last. Also, you know what you are getting. Buying the cheapos could cost you more in the long run, and that time frame inclues a year to a few years.

I actually ordered the Yellow Ellipsoid foglights new from Mel and they came in about 2 weeks--he can basically get you anything you need.
