Elliot , Its a personal taste thing , but people tend to be purists on here , me included. Dont mind the all red lights but clear is very E36 and E36's were poosville really??
just my opinion!

i've had those rear lights on my car before but took them off earlier this year. Its a hit and miss I like them but got bored of them make the E30 look like an E28 from the rear, but they are a better alternative compared with the nasty looking lexus type ones, The angels I have them on mine and they can be wired to your sidelights, there pretty good quality and better light output compared to the original smileys.

i think it was this bloke who told me about the depo angel eyes. you have to look on ebay for them, otherwise of their website they are about £300 plus postage and taxes for the standard ones. then if you want a higher kelvin to make them white blue the price nearly doubles. ebay i got mine was about £230 including shipping and import tax.

nope i stand by my statement, your items one and two are not visible, and some body kits may look good, i am sure ben would agree with that one.

those lights would even ruin your dads M3! (assuming they fit cannot tell if they are pre or post, as i cannot bear to look at them long enough to decide.)

there's mods much worse than that, Maxfield has only given the tip of the iceberg!

Think those lights suit white or red e30's

I definitely agree with the colour comments, I think these can look nice on a white or red car...I had a set of these on my car for a while, but switched back to standard ones, the red clashed badly with my paintwork!. Also the fit wasn't exact, and they leaked and filled up with water after a while and had to be removed and emptied. On the upside they sold on ebay for more than i paid for them when they were brand new, so no harm done :D

they would never get seen on there.

as gouki says they would look OK on a white or red car

but other than that wouldn't look good at all

but t the end of the day its down to personal opinion

Hmmm they don't look so great there.

But then again the rest of that rear end is bloody awful.
