    krazy.. Looks good, now get some silvervision bulbs to get rid of the "egg yolk" look in the turn signals.

    I see you're in Rego Park, I used to live off of Booth Street!!

    can you please advise whether all 3 horizontal bars are lighting up? This is important as when the top and the bottom bar are lite, the center bar can look like it is lite, but it is not. First, my left side middle bar was out and now the middle bar is out on both sides. I need to know whether my results are not typical, so if you would verify (or anyone else that bought Jo's lights) that all three horizontal bars are lite, I would really appreciate it. They look great IMO, but they are most definitely a product of what we have come to expect from Taiwan. They are what they are. Affordable, look great, but when you hold one in your hand no question you are not holding the "daddy" of the look they are trying to emulate.

    Nice install, but I can't get past the back up light section not being slanted like the OEMs.


    I prefer the DEPO clear tails (FYI:non-CCFL) for that very reason.

    They look good. I have the eurodyne tails, but the LED ones, and they seem to work fine as well. They look good, not quite as good as OEM but they also don't cost nearly as much and are easier to install.

    Come on fellas, do make me eat my words! Room for everybody and everybody's opinions. That's what we are here for- to share opinions. Arodarod, 19 posts? Give it some time before you alienate a bunch of people. No haters, just people presenting both sides. I said I love the look- I bought a pair as I could not afford the real thing. If someone has a nice set of Celis tails for my 2000, please PM me if the price is right. I have some Peake readers for trade! I just need to find out if mine are working correctly with the center lines not lighting??? Appears the Quality Control on these has not gotten fully developed possibly. Jo will sort it all out. They look very, very clean.

    arodarod,

    With all due respect, people sharing their opinion in a respectful way is in no way hating. If you were referring to my post, starting off with, "Nice install", shows proper etiquette and respect for the work done by the OP.
    Your posts, however, reflect that you only have 19 posts under your belt.

    RESPECT
    Bimmerforums.com is a place where it's okay to be yourself - be that harried, jovial, silly or sad - as long as you always act with respect for your fellow members. We promise that at Bimmerforums.com you won't have to leave your personality at the door. We promise to bring passion to our work and appreciation for our members. We will listen to your suggestions and complaints, and try to incorporate your ideas in everything we do.

    AGREE TO DISAGREE, RESPECTFULLY
    We invite and encourage a healthy exchange of opinions; disagreements are okay. If you disagree with a member's post or opinion, by all means, challenge the opinion. However, any challenge must be given with a sense of respect and caring for the other person. The real objective of community is to understand each other, not to attack others and convince them that you're right. Name-calling, insults, "flaming" and attacks are not appropriate and will not be tolerated. Agree to disagree respectfully.

    Is there anyone in a cold climate running these? I was just wondering if there was any cold staring issues because i had ccfl angel eyes and in cold weather they would consistently not totally fire up along with a couple of my friends ones.

    they were JUST released; so, I don't think any real cold-weather testing has been carried out.

    +1,000,000! Can you post more pictures of the depo's? I want to upgrade my rear lights but I feel like I need to have the slanted reverse light
