Is there such a thing as an LED taillight kit? - BMW Forum

Do they make LED taillights for the E36? Are there any conversion kits?

they are out there.

but I think they are kinda ugly...

I've never see a set but I have heard nothing but bad things about them. Apparently, they are ass ugly.

While they all such at the current (unit pictured below no exception), I love the concept. It is a good way to freshen up and modernize the rear end of an e36. Im just waiting for a reputable company to start manufacturing them. Kinda reminds me of the G35....

Pro Car Parts has them but it's not OE quality, IMO I think the E36 should be left simple with taillights. Just some nice white/red OEMs is all it needs

somebody do a photochop. Im not home so I can't.

Look at where the turn signals are on that PCP picture... they aren't in the regular location, has anyone seen them on a car before?

Here you go

Kevin325i · 05-17-2004, 08:14 PM

Here is on the car

Maybe they moved the positioning of the brake lights/ running lights to that top section. I'm not sure but i found them on Ebay.

The ones i posted where from procarparts (like you couldnt tell).

I definately dont like those Kevin. Too ricey! Those are the ones from Germany, right?

I wish i could find those by a good manufacturer, I can just see $250 out the window when they start leaking, fry the board, and poof....DARKNESS

Kevin325i · 05-17-2004, 10:09 PM

I don't really think they look the best on the e36 either. They've got their place on a skyline, but not on the german cars.

I also don't like the combination of LED lights and regular bulbs and I don't like the roundness of the LEDs and the squarness of the bottom together

Everyone wants a good manufacturer. The lights are awful. STAY AWAY. The lights from PCP aren't bad, but I still wouldn't get them. Most of those type of aftermarket kits leak, which is just a wast e of money every time it rains.
