thanks carcus for going out of your way to find those tail lights
they look pretty sweet but my e36 is a 4dr.
no worries though....i just ordered a pair of the oem euro tail lights from bavarian autosport. i dropped serious $$$ on these but the're supposedly made by the manufacturer of bmw parts. this is what i found from calling around a bunch of places. most euro tail lights for bmw that you see on the web are aftermarket ones that are made in taiwan or from apc (us co). most of these are of good quality but some do have problems with leaking. apparently altezza makes the poorest quality tail lights so try to avoid them if you can. bavarian autosport carries oem euro tail lights for bmw's. they are supposed to come in a bmw box and have bmw's logo on the product. i'll get mine by the end of the week and i'll tell you how they are.
