Aftermarket tail lights good or bad?

I just saw these on ebay, the price was great but then I realized they're not oem lenses... anyone have experience with these or know their quality? I just acquired a very mint oem drivers lens and would like a passenger side to match. 

Thanks!

Wow!  MSRP for the new BMW lens is currently $241.10, but you can purchase them for ~ $192.88 from online dealers.  Check the classified section, or post a Want To Buy there.

Good luck!

Neildo11, I hate to say this, but please let us know if they are any good! :rolleyes:

 

Ok guys, i'll be the guineapig... Only because I got a great deal on my oem lens and I'll compare the two lenses and report back. ?

Well my aftermarket lens came today... overall it looks good and fits ok. 

The color is a little off so mixing with my oem drivers lens might look funky and the reflector lens is red on clear inside with makes it look a bit different.  

As for fit the turn signal edge of the lens is a little off and requires the bolt on that side to be pretty fit to get it sealed up. 

Overall I'd say if you want like new lenses but can't shell out for oem i'd get a driver and passenger of these lenses so they match and do your best to get them on good and flush. 

 

Driverside is oem bmw

passenger ebay aftermarket

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
