i'm changing my car from the early style sidemarkers to the later style. the early, bulbous ones just don't look as good to me. i've got the fronts done, and found the rear bumper side mouldings that the lights fit into, but i'm having trouble finding the rear marker lights themselves. when i was at the yard yesterday pulling the side mouldings (lights were already taken) there was a 7 series nearby that had very similar lights. unfortunately, those bastards wouldn't pop out. they should just slide and lift out, but for whatever reason they wouldn't let go. i held the moulding up to compare, looked like they would fit.
i checked realoem.com and a couple of parts houses, but there seems to be conflicting info on whether any other lights will fit. realoem shows different part numbers, but there are quite a few sellers on ebay and amazon that show these fitting multiple models.
i'm a cheap bastard and don't want to spend $80+ for lenses. it's hard to find e30s in my local yards that aren't stripped bare, but there are tons of 5 and 7 series tempting me with their lenses. i can get the pair there for about $20.
anybody know for sure if they will fit? or am i wasting my time?
i might just head back down to the yard soon and pull some to see.
