Blacklines tailights, not whiteline for F10?

Just curious to know why BMW didn't make OEM blackline taillights for the F10. Was this something people just weren't interested in? I know whitelines exist and I believe I saw a post by Lacster a while back where he had whitelines and made the bottom portion cherry red.

I always liked blacklines when I had them on my E90 but would love to have this as an option for the F10's.

The first one is the LCI taillight, but I've never seen any other pic of it than that one.
Come to think of it, I've never seen whiteline LCI taillights either.

I was more specifically talking about white across top and cherry red on the bottom portion. Going to see if I could find that post I saw a while back where Lacster took whitelines and painted the bottom portion red.

It wasn't Lacster's f10, is was Long Tran's (from LTMW) or his wife actually.

Here's the thread.

^ HOLY. SHIT. Never thought I'd see the day... Where did you get them? BMW introduced them with their first M-Performance campaign for the F10, and even had part numbers but I was NEVER able to find them anywhere, or seen anyone install them, so I figured they just never produced them.

That's so awesome !

Edit: Bleh, those are from Umnitza aka China. What a buzz kill lol. But yea... I'm still sure BMW never ended up releasing the Blacklines.

These are awesome, they look and act just like OEM and Hella did in fact produce these in Europe - not sure if they are still selling them...but there are a lot of photos of these on Euro cars.
---EDIT
only reason you'd say this is because you were a competitor...didn't your partner have an acrimonious falling out with you? grow up.
