Can anyone help me I have a 91/H Cabrio and am having real trouble up grading the rear lights, I bought some really nice pearl red ones new off eBay which stated that they fitted 91-93 cabrio however they don't, they are too tall so I think my car must be a old style car, can any point me in the right direction to be able to find some up grade lights that do fit.

Many thanks

You have pre facelift rear lights on your car. All convertible up to mid H I believe had the earlier rear lights. If when ordering, you order them for an M3, you will get the correct ones.

Mods may move this to the technical section.

You need the preface lift size then! after market ones look gash but then i am a bit of a purest :)
unless your lights are smashed to bits then leave them alone! but if they are! then they are still avialable at the dealers..... or good used ones are to be had on the parts dept on here!

Thankyou for that, I guess the M3 lights are also harder to come across but I will keep searching, thankyou for your swift help.
