WTB:Nice set of e28 taillights

Post by astupidname »

Looking for a set without cracks in the lenses and little to no flaws in the chrome, if that exists, let me know!
Have an 88 U.S. car, 535i, but it has euro parts all over, would be interested in euro tails if someone has them if it’s possible to do! Assuming it’s a different plug fit?

€ Tails are similar with the addition of a fog lamp bulb in place of the three-pointed star flashing in the molding on US tails. The Euro wiring would have one more connection. The tail already has the connection.

The other difference you might be thinking of is the shadowline trim, which was available on the US M5 so not a € lamp specific difference.

Easy to convert US to € by removing the spars in the opening and installing the correct lamp housing and bulb, then wire it up to work as you want it.

I did mine in switchable dual rear brake lights or rear fogs with a dash switch.

Hi. I bought a set of E28 rear window motors from you recently, do you by any chance have another set.
Thanks
