eBay taillights?

https://m.ebay.com/itm/2011-2012-201...75&_mwBanner=1

Anyone seen these or purchased them? Think they give an aggressive look but unsure how I feel about eBay products

Don't know about the quality, but I think they would look really nice, depending on the color of your car. White, yup. Red, not so much... I've toyed with the getting those for my wife's Dark Graphite II but I'm just not sure how they'd look.

Yeah i think it’d only really look nice on white and black. I have a black f10, but I’m wondering of the quality of them before I pull the trigger haha

If they're the DEPO brand then they're good to go. I have a set sitting in my closet that I'm going to put some Lamin-X on before I install.

The only complaint ive heard of is that the light bars are slightly dimmer than oem but you will never know the difference unless you have 2 cars side by side in pitch dark.

My advice? You like em? Buy em!

I’m unsure if they’re the depo brand. Will these throw any codes though? And u think the bulbs will last?

Here ya go.. DEPO has always been OEM quality so I wouldn't worry about longevity of the bulbs and no, no codes...

If you are that worried about quality, stick with the OEM, thats what I would do

I am going to try them, at $338 they are worth it, just got rear ended, one BMW tail light covers it. If the pictures come thru, $8K damage, and what it should look like, order the spoiler and roof spoiler.

I was impressed with the 535, the car that hit me, a subcompact, hit me at 25 mph or so, was totaled. I drove home. It will need so minor frame pulls, complete bumper and trunk, but quarters are OK. No airbags deployed, just my headrest, they push out about 5" to prevent whiplash. It was a shame the car behind me could not stop as quickly.

I bought these off ebay earlier this year for $350, depo brand, installed my self, took about 30 minutes. The right inner light does have moisture build up when it rains but other than that they have performed well and look awesome on black. I live in Charlotte NC and have not seen whitelines on any other car yet.
