I have them on my g83. Bought on Ali. Be forewarned, they are idiosyncratic.

- the sequential turn signal does not work plug and play. It would need new wiring. The sellers are somehow unaware of this. The brake lights flash as signals. I can't find any instructions out there on how to rewire our usdm cars.

- the startup animation only works if the car is already unlocked. This may be a positive for some - I actually like it, and found this to be mildly disappointing.

- the instructions indicate a plug that activates the sequential turn signal. It does nothing.

- install is a bit of a bear - allocate a lot more time than you think. You basically have to take apart the whole trunk, and make sure you have a few extensions on hand. One of the nuts is challenging

From your first sentence, I was already too complicated for me.

I thought the ones from places like Kies or Euroklasse were plug and play. Didn't James from What's Your Forte do a full install video?

I'm not sure if he installed the clears, or not. Not sure if they are the same.

Thought they were the same. Just available in either smoke or clear. 🤷🏻

In any regard, surprised you are looking at doing something non-OEM. 😉

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to do it. They look better on the M3.

I bought mine from Euroklasse and it was plug-n-play. Pretty simple install.

My suspicion is the g82/3 is wired differently. The G80 seems to be pnp with these.

How long have you had them installed? Run into any issues so far? Do they seem as bright as the OEM lights during the day and night?

I'd love to get a set but always leery of messing with OEM headlights/taillights.

Cool

NO Chinese tail light(s) headlight etc ever going on this car. Photonics, TUV (good luck) are suspect, Chinese manufacturers. Cheap wiring etc. Never. Free country. Do what you have to do. I always pass on this one.


Get me BMW OEM and some valid part numbers.

I was just interested in if anyone had ever seen the completely clear ones. I've never replaced my tail lights. Maybe the bulbs, but never the tail lights. They usually just look to fake to me. I like the OEM look.

I've had them now for over a year. Brightness is the same or maybe even 5% brighter during the night/day. They are still LED. No issues installing or using them.

Personally they'd look more fitting than red on a lot of colors including my twilight purple g80.

2023 G80 M3 6MT  [10.00]
Did Bayoptiks clear smoked white on Dravit Grey paint. Very satisfied with the outcome. Fitment 7/10, not perfectly flush like OEM but not enough to notice or care. Looks & function 10/10 so far. Direct swap, plug & play.
