Won't fit all E30, only cars with facelit rear lights.

Personally, I think they look shite.

:lol:

The ones I have are MHW, they are made to the exact same standard as the original BMW lights, but with a smoke effect, and MHW are the only ones to have in my opinion.

I'd say scan e-bay, I sold the last 3 sets available in the UK last year, MHW stopped making them a while back, and there's probably a few hanging around somewhere.

When I had them for sale, they were being sold for £250 new, and the 3 sets I had, I struggled to sell them for £130 brand new, but they sold eventually!
