          Too bad they will scratch and reduce light output.

              Smoked on both my babies. Not homemade either. I think they look the best, and the early stle better still. I dont think they look that bad (the ones shown) but I just dont like the "crystal" look to them. I dont like that new trend. There was no need to do that. I agree, why dont people come out with the most OBVIOUS combo, STOCK configuration with clear instead of amber, and not this crystal garbage.

                Think of how wierd that would look though. It would be all red with white stuck on the side. I think that only works with vertically oriented tails, like E36's.

                I LOVE crystal/LED tail lights, like all the new BMW's have (especially the late model E46 M3 tail lights, drool), but they just don't look right on the older cars. Some E36's can pull them off.

                  I remember it looked quite good when the E38's did it. And yes the E46's look nice with it, you have a point. I dunno, I suppose Im guilty of the knee-jerk reaction as well. SHame on me.

                      They just don't suit the car.

                      I sure as hell wish the MHW guys did a red turn signal aswell, that would be SO much better

                        They did... the turn signals are clear/red.... so they look pink.

                          Going against everyone else here but i reckon they look quite cool on that red M3. It is something different and far better than those other shitty crystal lights you see on egay.

                          I do agree with whoever said they are too modern for our cars and that most cars on hear wont be able to pull them off.

                            I almost dig em, probably 75% because theyre something different for a change.

                              I dont disagree. Its at least nice people still want to spend money on developing SOME E30 specific mods. Gets tiring to see the same shit over and over.

                                I saw a post where someone photoshopped these lights onto the back of an E30 and while the lights themselves looked OK...they looked like shit on the car. They remind me of Japanese style lights that belong on some 80's Honda. I don't see how people (Rob) can hate on smoked MHW taillights...they're stock lights with a clear/smoked lense and bulb caps made in Germany. The only color car they would probably look "bad" on are red cars that match the stock red in the taillights. Stock tails stand out too much on silver/black cars and the smoked blends in a lot better. To each his own... :roll:
