Classiest e90 tail lights

joeyb649 · 11-18-2015, 06:48 PM

My 2006 BMW 325 I got rear-ended the other day and destroyed my taillights I get a do over on my taillights I had these before and although I like them for a little while they really are all that classy what would you guys recommend and what brand for some nice maybe LCI taillights? I've since then taken off the carbon fiber emblems and went stock I'm really looking for a nice stock upgraded look something that is modified but doesn't look modified whatever is the classiest upgrade

In all honesty, perhaps it was a bit of a blessing that those old lights got smoked. Those don't ever belong on a BMW. That said, check out the MARS style LED tail lights. I believe there is a set of used ones on here for sale. IMO they are the best OEM+ looking tails without doing a full LCI trunk/tail light conversion for a pre-LCI. Here's what they look like...

Here's one example:

Thank you ya I agree with you I was younger than I'm in the process of making it look as classy as possible instead of all kiddish. Switch out my eBay head lights for some real Depo's drls square head lights. Took out all carbon fiber and put in stock.

Agree that the MARS tails are probably your best option.

Or just paint your stock tails to make them all red similar to the MARS. there's a DIY, I think the paint is like $10. If you don't have your stock tails, those are usually pretty cheap in the classifieds too.

OEM Blacklines FTMFW

Ali-E90 · 11-19-2015, 09:27 AM

Here's what the painted OEM tails could look like. I think the product is VHT niteshade.

Blacklines are another way to go. Not my cup of tea though, makes it look less German/high end IMO, especially on a black car.

joeyb649 · 11-19-2015, 10:32 AM

I'm pretty sure I'm going with these anyone know where I can find them in a better price that's pretty steep for taillights but I don't mind buying them if they're the best I just want to get a good brand I don't like buying things from eBay any suggestions of a better retailer or a better item I want to buy quality I don't mind spending the money if I must

I really like these but I like the picture of them where it has the LED lights the third one down with the dots on it why does it show it sometime solid and then sometimes with the dots which lights do I buy to get the dotted design

joeyb649 · 11-19-2015, 11:22 AM

The fourth one down our daughter LEDs those are the ones I'm looking for I'm not sure how to find them though most of the other pictures are solid lights so how do I go about finding these the fourth picture down

MTTH · 11-19-2015, 11:53 AM

Mars hands down wins from the pictures I've seen.

If you got rear ended, it's the perfect time for the LCI trunk and OEM tail conversion.
