And they were cheap, can't go wrong, if you change your mind, you could probably make your money back and more!

lol.

They look nicer in the flesh. Ive never liked the normal lights and I think the tinted and clear ones are boring (and bloody expensive for the proper ones!).

They werent a bad price though, and they came with the bulbs! lol.

When these first came out I was really excited. Been frustrated that the VW scene had loads of different rear light options, but the E30 stuff was pretty much all the same... was REALLY looking forward to seeing some on an E30 in the flesh...

Then I did.

I was so dissapointed.

Poor finish... they leak... and they look 'not as good as I thought they would'

Shame really.

if they had kept the layout of the original lamps and just made them crystal clears then i think they would have suited the car better but thats just my opinion

i think thats the same lights as ive got on my white m tech tourer, and i think they suit that. your photos dont do them justice but i dont think they go as well on darker cars though.

I was going to get a set of these until i was told they leaked badly. Nav photo shopped them onto my car and they looked fantastic. I do have to agree though that they look a bit too bling for a dark coloured car, but still, as said as long as you like them it dont matter what anyone else thinks :wink: :D

Me too! Not terrible, and like the guy above, I always wondered about a set of lights divided horiszontally like on a E36.

Sadly not as good as Id hoped :?

hmmm...this is really weird what I'm gonna say but it somehow it dont look right! Dunno why I got the same lights on my one but they don't look outta place maybe its the angle, gonna say soon as I saw those in the daytime pic, looks like the old 5 series from that era. If someone photochopped the exhaust to the middle of the bumper and change the 325 to 525, I dont think many could tell the difference, well I know I wouldnt! But if you like em its your car anyway, you drive it! As for leaks I can confirm mine don't! One last thing least you didn't get the lexus style ones, there awful!
