OK, I found this old post and recalled someone had asked for pics, so here are some pics. They are on the E30 site, R3vLimited, hope it works.

Early style lights-

Late style lights -

I tried the links, they work for me. If they don't work for you, email or pm me, I'll send pics directly to you by email.

By the way, look at the dates, these are older posts, the prices may have changed.

BTW #2- Similar upgrades for E24 sharks, bimmerjo. But on the shark, the reflectors are restored (if needed) to boost light output even more, they are Stunning!

I am running a sale for Christmas, so gift wrapping is extra Smile

Well, it looks like I can't stop improving these kits, making them simpler and more reliable. What's wrong with that, eh?

I had a brainstorm while talking to a guy about his 73 2002 roundie. I've been doing these for longer than any other BMW, since a 1972 2002 was my first 'real car' back in 1979. February 7, 1979, to be exact. I took it out for a spin, and got a ticket within two days of receipt. Sheesh!

Anyway, I had been installing a soldered connection to power an added tail light filament to make them 'bigger, brighter, more reliable' etc., and had a thought - why not install a tiny little wire harness that did NOT require any soldering, but instead just plugged in between the existing harness and the light?? OK, done! Another improvement derived from a conversation with a customer... my favorite thing to do (well, close to favorite).

I'll see if I can change my avatar to show the dual tail light round version of a 2002 rear light.

Keep those cards and letters coming, folks!
