I do like them. LED tubes are definitely the way to go.

raleedy · 09-30-2011, 05:57 PM

Who, me?

PhiDeltBeers · 10-01-2011, 10:02 AM

Like them as well. Very destinctive.

mkossler · 10-01-2011, 10:30 AM

Absolutely. Very nice look, and effective too.

uhn2000 · 10-01-2011, 10:35 AM

Beautiful in the evening!

I just wish the rear directional indicators were amber.

Look ace - one of the best design moves BMW has made

lakerpride05 · 10-01-2011, 12:57 PM

+1 You can point out F10's at night from far away.

Kernie_K · 10-01-2011, 06:11 PM

It definitely looks much more elegant than other 'dot' style LED lights from other manufacturers.

Gran Turismo · 10-02-2011, 03:12 AM

... and definitively less silly outside of Christmas time!

The first car that crossed my mind when I read your post was the new Charger.

Agree 200% - i'm going to get a set of the White-line taillights, as i think they look pretty bad-a$$, but they also have amber turn signals, which i think look much better then red.

Wonder why they decided they should be red vice the amber which seems more common/a better look for safety no matter where you drive.

They are in the UK and, I suspect the EU, as it's a legal requirement over here. Apart from the small white reversing light, the whole lens is red, but the turn signal segment flashes amber when switched on.

Just noticed you're in Belgium - have you actually looked at the back of your car with the indicator or hazard warning lights on. In the UK it flashes amber through the red lens and, as far as I know, we come under the same EU legislation.

Celibon · 10-05-2011, 10:36 PM

I absolutely love the tail lights!
They're my favorite aesthetic features on this car and one of the (many) reasons I bought this car.

MMVI · 10-06-2011, 06:02 PM

Yes, superb

mit · 10-07-2011, 11:22 AM

love to follow fellow F10 at the back just to appreciate the LED tube.......distinctive and original
Let see who is the first one to copy the design

Yes

I have a US spec F10 - my job brings me here to Belgium, as I'm American - Even if i sprung for anEU spec auto, I would not be able to bring it back to the US without a conversion (even more money).

skoTner · 10-08-2011, 01:23 PM

Love the tail lights as well... Even the white and black are nice when combined with certain colors on the car.
