I have a 95 325i and my right turn signal and brake light are completely burned out. I need to replace the housing on it, and I'm contemplating maybe just replacing both of them with some aftermarket lights. Does anyone have any pictures of their bmw with non-stock tail lights? I'd love to see what they look like on the car. Thanks!

Here's hoping we get lots of discussion on this item.
I looked all over the Internet for clear lens units for my 328ic but couldn't figure out why prices had such a huge range, so deferred making a decision until someone could clue me in.
Some people will say that non-OEM units will give you a brake light failure warning, but I have OEM's and already have intermittent warnings! I do have non-OEM clear marker and front corner light lenses and they are great.
There is a bit of a discussion on our forum, at

And here is an example of a product

If you search on eBay you will find lots, especially if you include "Altezza" as a search keyword.

.That's one thing I was worried about, the brake light warning signal with non-OEMs. Is there anyone out there that already has them on their E36?? I am so conflicted right now, because on one hand, I just want a right turn signal again, but on the other hand, I want my car to not be all stock. It's about a $140 price difference, so I'm wondering if I should just get the aftermarkets. But then, I'm not sure which ones, because I don't know what they would look like on my car.
