Good work Shogun, I always knew trhe Japanese were crazy- that is so much work. Its not neat enough for me- I think I'd strip the light backings more carefully. The headlamps would not be right... very interesting post though!

Q. Why do one do all that wearing cloth gloves? erghhh

[pundit]

Am I the only one who's left with a flaccid member by LED tail lights?

[shogun]

Why we always use white gloves in Japan?
To keep the hands clean :D
I do it too

What model fits on the e34's.

I would love to have LCD lights in the back.. seems how the stealer gave me the wrong bulbs last time and I melted yet another set of plastics...

See the link to the seller in the U.K. and compare your taillights.
Note that your check control will give an alarm.
To avoid this you also have to order the resistor kit they are offering.

[dacoyote]

Right now it sits in alarm just about all the time because the bulbs don't sit right anymore....

How do they look compared to the stock lights?

hahahah thats a very novel thing to do to your E34, it looks like he used an entire tube of silicone for each tail light.

props to him tho

I think it looks like total ****. Nothing like bitching up everything on your car. Who knows, maybe this car came at no cost to the owner and he/she can afford to **** up the car without any reprocussions.

Obviously everyone has the right to do what they want to their personal things, but I'd agree, it looks like ****....both tail lights as well as interior lighting.
