E90 Tail Light Pre-LCI smoked

Maverick27 · 05-16-2014, 02:44 AM

Hi All

Im looking at putting in some new tail lights in my Black 2007 325i

I like the F10 style but they dont have LED indicators only bulbs

The other has LED indicators like LCI E90s

Some thoughts?

Personally I'd stay away from these for the 06-07 model year cars because of LED flickering issues. And their build quality is not all that great. Look at Mars taillights if you really want to.

I will however suggest OEM black lines or to do a Redline conversion on your stock taillights like I've done to my car(I also have satin cleared my taillights).

I will be going to blacklines next week just because OEM freshness.

neither.

blacklines or nothing for pre-lci.

OEM Black Line. I'm an OEM+ kind of guy.

A local has the Mars LCI look alikes, and they pretty good. Only a person who really knows the difference could tell. They aren't as aggressive looking due to the shape of the inner tail light.

+1 for the OEM Blacklines.
LED looks rice.
I got the OEM Blacklines on my Pre-LCI 335i.

Yeah did abit more research LEDs for pre-LCI is bad.

OEM blacklines by the looks of it.

Depo brand blacklines is what I have. I've had no issues with them and they're cheaper and smoked a little darker than OEM blacklines.
