    Default I can't find these lights...

    Ok, I've got the clear side indicators that go between the fender and the door, I've got the clear turn signals too. The Black tail lights and eyes are on their way right now via UPS... but what about the clear front/side bumper lights ? where do I get those ? i haven't seen anyone on ebay selling them. I've looked but can't seem to find them. HELP !

    Default your gonna have to paint them too

    they dont come with black plastic molding they come with white. You just need some flat black spray paint, tape up the "light" part and spray the rest.

    Don't get them... get the euro bumper strips, they get rid of that light altogether, and there's no warning on the dash from the missing light (they were a us-market afterthought)

    It's a safety issue and the clear looks great and matches the clear blinks. I say do both, like the Euro's are doing. They're putting the US rub strips and clear sidemarkers in their E34's. I wish I had the time to put 1995 sidemarkers in the 1/4 panel...who's got jr's link to that?
    Here's an expired auction with some blingage side's. Just a little can of Testor's flat black and blue painter's tape...this is an easy easy mod
    Buy em, paint em black, and put in amber bulbs in front and red in back. Might save you a T-bone or two.



    btw, will someone win this 540iT auction for me? Only a couple hours left.

    Red, 4.0 Alusil, 6 speed, EDC, Tow package, anyone get a better translation than Babelfish?

    What you really mean to say is that it's a silly US DOT policy issue.

    Those side markers are only on if your lights are on. And if your lights are on (markers or headlights) and somebody can't see you, they're going to hit you regardless of the corner markers, which are pretty dim as it is and at a horrible height.

    My '93 Mercedes 400E doesn't have corner markers. Neither does the '88 Corvette we have.
