What are these called?

[Calico_NC]

I have these, but what are they for. Do they light up, cause mine haven't lit up since i had them or Are they just reflectors?

Also, im having trouble removing them. INFO ON THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TOO!

they light up, are generally known as marker lights and pry out, but they are easy to break so it's better to push them out from the back side, but if you are at the back side it's just as easy to give the socket a 1/4 turn and pop out the bulb

[Calico_NC]

what do u mean by 1/4 turn. do u turn the light itself or just the socket inside the light

[Calico_NC]

also another ?, do the ones in the back light up too?

[E34 530]

buy eurotrim from the dealer. Cleans up the car alot

[winfred]

1/4 turn on the light socket and they all light up

put some black tape over them until you do that

Edit: see the sig, mine light up

[ericcamaro]

oooo, egg yokes, get rid of em, those amber colored lenses have been the cause of many a ugly looking cars. Euro trim is a must, then get yourself some clear corners and some euro tails. BTW if there not lighting up thats good, you want to draw as little attention to those as possible.

ok i got them to work. Also, can u buy clear ones or are u just stuck with the factories, because i want to get clears, b/c all the lights in the front of my car are clear.


P.S oh and by the way, that pic is of my car when i first got it. the only pic i had of a side view

[winfred]

they make clears but sometimes they are cheeply made, probably score some on ebay

i tried ebay and i didn't see any, any where else you can think of were they sell them

[E34 530]

They do sell them on ebay, just wait for awhile, they pop up pretty often. Like Winfred said, they look out of place and "cheap" looking.

[Calico_NC]

sorry for reviving this but, i think i found them.

What would you do to make them black around the edges?

[Evan]

you can also just buy euro trim.. it's bumper trim minus the lights

[angrypancake]

eBay is a hit and miss. I DID see them somewhere... I think BavAuto. Most of them are all chrome so you'll want to smoke them.

[Calico_NC]

yeah i found them on bravauto.com

[winfred]

but they are so bright they stick out where the regular lenses sorta blend in

Don't get the clear lenses -- get the Euro bumper trim that deletes the lights altogether. I have them on my car, although my sig pic shows the "before". Look at my sig pic and just imaging how much cooler the car looks without that light there at all.

The euro trim pieces aren't very expensive. You can get all four for well under $100, and they clean up the car's looks immensely.

That's my two cents.

I've been thinking about euro trim for mine... also tossed around the idea of smoking the clear ones, so they look black (like euro trim) in day, but emit light at night... Maybe a blue tone? or hyper white such as turn signals.... not sure...
