Hi there. Does anyone have a pair of Genuine OEM Pre Facelift clear rear lights for my 1998 Z3. They must be in good condition & to maybe include postage to Halifax in West Yorkshire if you aren't too local to me. Many thanks..Regards...Michael.

I don’t think clear OEM exist? If they do id pretty sure they were retrofit.

Hi & thanks for your message. I know a couple of guys who deal in used Z3 parts & they do genuine BMW Z3 clear lights, but these are quite rare & hard to find these days. I know that they do aftermarket clear ones but have been advised to stay clear of them, unless anyone knows of a good aftermarket brand? Thanks again...Regards...Michael. :)

Hi & thanks for your message. I have already managed to find & change the front headlights & front quarter panel indicators for clear ones already with BMW ones. Its just a case of trying to track down a decent pair of rear ones now. Apparently they are a bit like Hens teeth to try & find these days! lol.

Hi & thanks for your message. I'll give it a go at trying to find some used ones first, but if all else fails i'll look into getting a set of aftermarket ones. What make of aftermarket ones were yours if you know? Cheers...Michael. :)

I’ve had those ‘terrible’ aftermarket ones for years with no issue.

Sounds like they just want to flog em for more money with advice like that ;)

I bought a fresh set a few years back as one got cracked, think they made by Depo - can be found on ebay but also check German sites like Schneidmann.

weren’t too expensive if I recall.

Z3M roadster. However the good quality aftermarket units are great. I have a set.
