Ebay light clusters... any good?

[shaunos]

Hi,

My sister in law backed my X5 into her neighbours jeep and as a result I'm gonna need to get a new rear light cluster.
Has anyone got any experience with non oem clusters?
Would ideally like to try and keep the cost down for her if there is no real decrease in quality?

Saw this on ebay:

Shaun,

Are you looking to get both sides?

Are they for pre-facelift (so orange indicator lens), at the mo?

Shaun,

Assuming clear, try these:

Thanks for the replies guys...

It's the passenger side rear light cluster (body not tailgate) It has the clear indicator glass.

Ideally I'd like to get a new unit, just want to know if anyone has experience with non oem ones, do they look and function just as well as the oem ones?
