alrighty i have a pair of NIB Hella OEM Celis LED Red Clear tails that i picked up a few months back and never got around to installing them onto my E39. Now that i've decided to trade in the E39 for an M3 i figured i'd sell these. I'd prefer people close to the DFW area (or OKC area since i'm from there) or somewhere that we can meet in the middle to avoid shipping charges and all that hassle. asking $250 obo. i've only taken these out of the box to check for damages...haven't even attempted to install them yet.

someone was gonna get them but texas tech raped them and stole all of their money. let me know if there are any interested.

cheers

If these didn't involve so much hacking to work on my '98, i'd consider them. I'll pass for the swaybars from the other guy.

I dunno. It's a bit of work to make those fit.

Do these come with the wiring and ballasts? Or just the tails themselves?

Psh, plenty do. :stickoutt.


Though that is what I'm leaning towards. I like the amber in the tails. I need to find CELIS with the amber, I know they exist cause I've seen them.

yea but they will cost YOU more then you can afford if you are debating between a DDM bumper or these celis which are only 250. these retail for 400 and the euro cost a little bit more.

these are the retro kit lights for pre 00 e39's

youve probably seen owners who imported the lights in. bimmerdood said that they did not come with american cars which is true.

would these fit (plug into) my 2000 528i? I just cracked one of mine and thought I should upgrade instead of replace.

i believe some minor drilling is involved in order for the lights to fit the 2000 model. can anyone confirm this?

if he's looking to buy an M5 bumper that i know of, its an OE, not DDM replica.

No it is always true. You could never order the CELIS ambers on a new car. THis isn't to say you couldn't order the lights aftermarket. That could be a canada car, they may have been able to get amber celis.
