Ambers - WTF?

[White325]

Why are so many people refitting amber lights to their E36s? This seems to be a new craze, get rid of the white indi's / side repeaters / M style rears and replace them with 316 spec lights. Am I missing something? Looks cr4p IMHO, although each to their own....

I have to say I hate the ambers

I think they look good on black cars,i just bought some smoked ones and im not liking them really.May well refit my orange ones now.Weird

I think they can look good, depending on the colour of the car, especially on a nice looking example.

Shane for your car if you are having orange rims, make it the same colour at the stock indicators, then tint the red section of the rears black so your car will be completely black and orange.

If you don't like the smoked ones you know where I am

[old skool's kool]

don't forget about the yellow foglight craze too

My smoked indi's wont fit your car matey,coupe and 'loon fronts are slightly different

good point, I wonder what the old colour coding of lights might look like? anyone fancy photoshoping a picture for me?

Osk i can photo shop drop me a pm

I prefer clears. So long as they have silver bulbs, if its head lights itll have to be black angel lights and rears m3 or them frosted white rear lights

Up to you but smoked rear lights are a bit boy racer style!

Some people prefer the oem look it adds to the resell value also. Gives the impression the car has not been modded

[e36-coupe]

unless you have a coupe or vert and they come with clear repeaters


and it depends what colour car you have, dark colours work well with lightly smoked clear rear lights not oem ones and of course on light colours then they dont look to goos, but its down to what you think.
