Clear lights

[mattgoldsbro 0]

Hi am wanting to buy Clear tail lights, front corner and side lights to replace the unsightly orange ones on my 96 coupe. Have come across these on trademe :

I dont really wanna spend that much as was hoping someone on here might have second hand genuine ones for sale ?

Car is an E36 1996 2 door/coupe

Thanks

Those seem a reasonable price for a full set...i didn't even know Bmw make oem aftermarket lights, though would think they may be rare!

Hi,

I have an E36 1996 coupe, and I bought clears from Eurolights. Eurolights is a bloke who sources from Carwear in Australia (www.carwear.com.au), whatever you buy is shipped direct from Carwear to you. Now, I bought twice from these people, the first was to buy the front quarters and side clears only. One of the quarters (RF) did not fit quite right, so after I sent photos to prove my point, they sent a replacement. About 2 weeks later I bought again; just the rears only. You would not read about it - the parcel was lost in the post! To this day has not been seen. However, they replaced and sent a second parcel, this time it was track and trace, and it turned up ok. I have to say, the clears certainly improved the look of the car, no issues there! I was impressed with the service, particularly from the Carwear people when I contacted them, their service you really could not fault. My 2c, FWIW. Cheers.

Some of them did, yes. Was probably just an option.

You could try Ray @ HellBM, or Brent @ European Car Parts, both sponsors on here. I woudl think they'd both have some. I got some of the aftermarket ones a while back and the only real difference I could see was the missing BMW logo
