    What should I do???? Need Advice!!

    Okay, for quite some time, i've been hating my side lights!!! (blinkers)
    They look cheap as if they are not originals! the white look they have is not doing for me! they are in excellent condition but i want to change them! i've looked at few options and i need ur opinion!

    Here is how the car looks like now (with the original BMW side lights):


    Here are the 2 options and my comments on them:

    (1) Clear glass with black interior. (my comment: the clear glass surrounding or trim is black, not sure if that will match the headlight which has no trim!)


    (2) Same as above but the interior is silver chrome. (The trim is silver or grey).


    OR is the idea of clear glass not good to begin with??? I feel it will give the car a clean look.

    Waiting for ur opinions! and again, i dont want to buy the original ones from BMW and smoked lights are not an option since i have no other lights in smoked glass.

    Thank you...

    yes the white corners look cheap... and those that you selected are like the altezza japanese corners that are bought from ebay. my advice is get the ones that ayham, bruno, rifo havem, it's smoked depo.

      i can't have the corner lights smoked when everything else isn't.
      also its not easy to match up colors on my car, the laguna seca blue color is a difficult one! :)

        ^^ true. i also hate the chrome grills so i painted them body color ( with matt black grills) to match the dark look of my front end.

        sorry the ones that you selected look cheap. i know a guy in who has the ones that you selected then he didn't like them so he went with the depos

        let me find the pics

                I honestly think they'll make the car look horrible... either the normal smoked ones of the white one look best... just my opinion :)

                  It looks nice on the navy blue car. but if the rest of his lights are white, then its awkward!

                      First off, whats "FTW", lol
                      And i agree that smoked wont look nice.
                      I;m surprised that no one likes the clear glass ones! lets say the one with silver chrome inside.

                      the truth is i HATE the original white one!!!

                          Mashallah your car looks amazing! but thats the thing, your car is black, and you have the smoked tail lights as well! on a black car, it is awesome!

                          I have the laguna blue. smoking my lights wont look nice

                          Here is an example i found online. (I apologise for the owner of this car, the following is just my opinion).
                          The look is awkward! smoked on front and taillights are white!


                          Here are 2 pictures of my option (2) the silver chrome with clear glass on an M3:



                          So what do you guys think now?????

                              i don't know man.. you're probably bored from the stocks so just take them off & put the ones you like :)

                              change is always good & end of the day this is just a minor mod & there'a always a chance for an "undo" when you get bored of those :)
