I was planning to all clear lenses all around on my 2000 BMW 323i. I looked on Ebay, and for $200 approx I can get clear lenses for the headlights and taillights. I'm proud of my car, but thought that this is a small upgrade that I can afford!!!
Has anyone else out there done this to their car? If you did it to a 2000 BMW, were there any problems?
A friend of mine did the same thing, got em off ebay. He said it was easy plug and play. His car was a 2000 328Ci. I haven't had the money to do anything like that yet.

After looking carefully on Ebay, it seems like the upgrade will cost me $250. However, one seller on Ebay siad that he is selling the set because the day he installed them on his car, he got a ticket since these clear lenses are 'Illegal in NY'. I'm shocked by this - has anyone else had such an experience?
I did all mine and had no problems but I spent way less than $250 on ebay. I think I spent about $250 and also got the M3 lip style spoiler. I installed them myself and it was very easy..you should not have any problems. Here are some pics of mine

Thanks for the reply, and for clearing up the 'ticket' situation. $250 is for the stock style lights in clear instead of orange, i.e. the back will have three lines - RED, WHITE and RED. The style ENVY M3 has are nice, but were different from what I had in mind. What kind are you selling Klearz? Also, is $40 for the set of front AND back?
what i am making is an extra copy of the stock lens but in all clear.
40$ is the price i gave for a set of the clear corner (in the headlight)
are there corners in the back or are you refering to side markers?
pictures are always helpful

The back lights are like in this picture. Also, I am interested in the side markers (the little things that are on either side, and blink while the turn signals are on)..
Sorry, I don't have more pics as I'm travelling on some client work....
