clear corners and euro tail lights definitely look stylish on a silver or white e36. at times i wish i didn't have a black e36....the clear corners look terrible on black....guess i'll just have to stick with my euro tail lights.

personally I dont like the regular clear corners on any e36, but they do look best on a silver car :D

I would look into the euro style clear corners because they match the head lights much better. I think the regular clear corners look a little funny beside the head lights because they look so different. Our head light housing is black and the euro corners also have the black housing, the regular ones have the silver backing so it just looks funny beside the regular head lights...

Euro Style:


Regular Clear:


This is just my opinion though... :D

Avoid procarparts!!!!!! Do not buy from them!!!!! They will screw you with $48 s&h!!! oh yeah the’re the biggest jerks…very rude….and don’t know shit about bimmers. They sell cheap aftermarket lights from taiwain that are not oem bmw parts…..did I mention that they have shitty return policies…hey if you don’t believe me just look at what others had to say about them on ebay….they have one of the worse feedback ratings. Again..beware of procarparts unless you don’t mind being ripped off!!! I personally recommend purchasing oem bmw clear corners and tail lights from bekkars.com. they have the best prices (cheaper than Bavarian autosport) and are always willing to work out any problem you have with products. BTW, I would also be careful about Bavarian autosport. I know other people have had good experiences but mine was shitty. They sold me lights that they didn’t have in stock!!!! Then they acted like it was my fault when I didn’t receive my tail lights a week later! What a bunch of shit!!!!

Thanks for the info about Procarpars, I was just using those pictures as examples of what I was talking about.

Hey Dave323is go with the clears on your silver E36. I have a arctic silver E36 328is with clears and I think it looks very clean. In my opinion the euro lights suck. They are altezza style lights which definitley do not belong on BMWs. Regular clears for the front corners, side markers, and taillights is the best way to go. Here is a pic of an silver E36 M3 with clears. Hope the picture works.[;)]

Kinda looks like christmas tree, try matching those light bulb colours, I mean the foglights vs headlights, and what colour you got in the high beams?

Anyway, speaking clear corners, then regular clearcorners look good only if they are smoked, otherwice they jump out, do not appear as finished headling-corners combo. The smoked fits better because the headligts have black background.
But the clear-euro (why for god sake its called euro plz explain me) is more successful because it does continue the headlight in the same style. It looks complete package. But the current design (look in the pictures above) still jumps out a little, reflector should be smooth, not the jewel-edged style.

Just my opinion,

ah

Ok....
Theyre called 'euro" clear corners bc clear corners came stock on every beemer, in Europe, where as in America, up until very recently, stock meant an ugly orange color. Heres a picture of the back of my car, in addition to the front one. Perosonally, I think clear on silver looks nice. Clear on anythng looks nice. Black, Blue, white, whatever. I think its much more stylish especially on an e36 bc you know it didnt come stock like that. anyways here you go

so thats a front and back picture hope all goes well [8]

guyz i just installed the the super clear corners and then i saw the "euro" clear.... now dont get me wrong i dont think u should put funky altezza style taillights on but i have to agree...


anyway I REALY REALY want to see sombody with those "euro" black backround headlights i have not found a single car with them on... i think they would look very nice


i got my corners on ebay fast shipping got them less then a week after auction and they where only $16 ill sell them and grab the euro ones in a hartbeat if i like what they look like

well here you go.

I have a delphin gray metallic BMW with euro ellipsoids and euro clear corners. In my opinion the non-euro "rice corners" are absolutely hideous. Putting them on your car seems to defy logic! It's simple, they don't match anything on the car, and you do know why? Because its a BMW, not a Honda!

Here are some pretty HQ pics. I'm posting the link because each pic is almost 1 meg.

You decide.

Decide for yourself

Opinions are like A- holes, everyone has one. I personally love my clear corners and side lights. Ebay- $20 for fronts and $12 for sides. And yes, I have replaced my driving light.
