In the late 90's early 2000s lexus was first car that started that style of clear tail lights with the black lining. Soon after cheap imitations were available on Craigslist for 150 to 200 dollars. Yeah I was that guy that thought it would be cool to put them on my 97 328i, looking back.....not cool at all. My advise, Get rid of them. they leaked around the gaskets and you'll get water in your trunk, the lights them selves, and it will start to coorode the wiring. Just my 2 cents!

Toyota Altezza style tails for BMW E30. It was never a good look except maybe on the Altezza/Lexus IS. Just looked terrible on everything else.

Kill it with fire. Some normal blacked out would look better in my opinion,... or stock replacements. But I never liked the altezza look even on the is300 that was designed around it. The style looks outta place

New Black Style:

In actuality, they were called "Altezza's". The clear/red crap. Started with 94-95 Accord tail lights. Same shape and were super popular at the time. Then came every single other car.

( I had a 94 Accord. Never got them. This was back in 99/00.) I can't remember the name of the company that made them, but they were HUGE.

Welcome to the e30 club!

Good news if you have a awesome car.

Bad news, the PO was a ebay modder.
