Is this too much?! OEM BMW Puddle Lights

[Lups]

I would install those in a Mazda, Amg, Opel, anything other than my car. Then they would be funny as hell.

This one (from the E9X forum) is the one to have

Its a cool concept but omg is it trying a little too hard. If you get these you might as well go the whole hog and wear M branded clothes all the time and get a M logo tongue stud to maximize the public entertainment value you'd provide. There's likely no easier way to tell the world you're hung like a mosquito (well maybe if you installed them on a bro truck).

Part Number: 63312289654
MSRP: $150 for a Set (2 sets needed for F80's)

Don't do it. It's very tacky.

For sure and that's why I wear them anytime I drive my car.

I think it is a "if you have to ask" type of question you already know the answer. But, it is your car and have at it if you like it.

[farishat]

let me guess, made in china on ebay?

If you haven't already, please take the poll - we're at 95 voters, but we can't make an official call until 100

it'll match your stickers

OP, they are not OEM and the quality ones are made by these guys (see below link).

They will even do a custom logo for you if you desire. But then only a BMW owner will pay $150 for something that actually sells for $40.

Get one if you need another set of ///M or BMW logos......

Idk it was offered from BMW LOL I do know that there are different ones out there. I thought it was actually pretty cool, if I were to switch out the puddle lights to LED mind as well spend a few more bucks on this.

I would put the puddle light mod this way: Let's say you committed suicide. Your friends and family would be searching for reasons why - why did Victor do this?

Upon finding this mod on your car, it would give them a measure of peace knowing that you were suffering from crippling low self-esteem.

In short, it is the mod of those to be pitied.

[Damasconian]

Alex07M3 - take a break tonight, I got this one for you.

The Mustang obviously does it better:

To everyone who's contributed to this thread, thank you. I've laughed out loud more than a few times.

To take away logos and signs is for me the sign of someone who knows what they bought. This mod reminds me of wedding rings. Some people just need to be reminded they are spoken for and others don't because they know it in their hearts.
