Smoked rear lights for facelift?

Post by V3LBM » Wed Oct 28, 2015 9:15 pm

I've been thinking of changing my sun bleached standard rear lights on my 54 plate facelift, only to find that you can only seem to buy them for the 99-03 models

I found a set of all 4 rear lamp units on e-bay for my 2004 facelift, lightly smoked, for about £120 for the set a few months back..
No leaks, work well & nice n bright too....

Have a look on Amazon, you can find them there also.

I believe the ore-facelift fit, but you have to a capacitor on each unit to stop flickering and swap 2 wires around as BMW changed the wiring around in facelift models.
