I told myself I learned my lesson about buying aftermarket reproductions after the GTS hood debacle but now I feel like I'm about to do it all over again lol

I have heard the f80/f30 DEPO lights are low quality, problematic and bound to give you issues from people bought them, mostly fogging and condensation although they're not terrible

Ahhhh 10-4. I had an f30 without the XENON/LED and absolutely had to change them. Installed a set of depo headlights with HID’s and they have been amazing in Arizona and Montana weather. The extremes if you will lol. I have since sold the car and know the owner personally, I didn’t want to set them up with bad lights. So far so good!

Any price higher than 50% of the cost for OEM LCI tails is a complete rip. I’d only be interested sub $500, they’re not even real OLED. I’d of course pay more if Dub came out with his versions as those are true OLED.

these are the same tech as the regular LCI tails... its LED not OLED. like buying a fake rolex for a 1/10th the price of a real one. rocking these tails with a base hood, headlights, and rep wheels is gonna look funny. dubsesd tails will probably be 3-4k i'd imagine. OEM is 9000 off iND.

Look funny? Literally everyone is buying the same style taillights for their F80/F30s. And c'mon, it's undeniable that these look better than pre-LCI taillights or OEM LCI taillights that costs $200 more any day. The turn signals are sequentially lit as well. So a M4 GTS with LCI2 headlights would look funny too then since we all know GTS doesn't have LCI2 headlights. Imagine complaining about $900 taillights that looks similar to the $9000 oem OLED taillights and being bothered that it's not real OLED. |

Your point doesn't really make sense; so why do you buy a diffuser? To impress other people that are creeping up on your bumper? If you don't think LCI lights are that much better looking then that's your opinion, but the reality is that LCI lights transform the look of a car in my opinion (and majority of enthusiasts) |

Unfortunately even our OEM headlights are prone to condensation so even BMW doesn’t do well 100% of the time 😪

Yet you have people here color matching their reflectors and no one dares to say that they are "uncertified lighting equipment". |
