^ me likey! Wanting these lights.

On my mk6 gti I upgraded from the standard rears to the smoked golf R LED ones. It was the best mod I did to the car. They cost about £650 so it will be interesting to see what the bmw ones work out to.

Looks nice, but I'd like to see a comparison picture on Estoril.
Just to see if it's worth the price. If there's just a minor difference I wouldn't order these.

It would be interesting to see what they look like on a dark car (black or grey).

Great pics, they look good on VO.
Where did you get them from and how much were they
I thought there would have been darker in appearance.
Not sure if they are worth it on the EB
I would have preferred them be a bit darker

Do you had Xenons or standard halogen lights?

Would be interested to see a EB comparison, before and after

I have Xenon. With Xenon it's plug and play. With the normal lights you have to go to your dealer.

Its personal choice, but I prefer the OEM lights on the Estoril blue. The dark rear lights don't do it for me. Maybe its the photos?

I have seen too many home painted, dark rear lights. It has made me associate dark lights with tasteless styling and cheap solutions. According to my taste, the regular lights look better on all car colors.
