The fixed up 5 series on the right kept my attention from your taillights.

But 97+ taillights all the way!

Nice Beemer!

Here's my taillight preference:
Cleared out 95-96 > Stock 97 > Stock 95-96

As for 92-94 tails, I used to hate mine on my sandstone SC3, they just seem dated & out of place. Now that I painted my car black they're starting to grow on me. The orange & red pops well against black. Although I would love to get my hands on a set of Takaira red/clear ones

btw anyone knows what happend to the company who's looking to produce them w/ LEDs?

Just because it's newer doesn't mean it's better all of the time.
the designers HAD to change something, otherwise they weren't designing, right?

I like the 2000's...(97's) best, especially on black, and with that matching spoiler...

There's a reason why I went with 95-96' taillights, you know.

The 97' version looks great on lighter colored SCs. For darker colors such as black and RJG, I would prefer the more subtle looking 95-96' taillights.

hmmm.... I like the pre 97 ones on my car personally cuz i have a red car that it goes well with. Now I have a question though. How many types of tails are there? I see the 97+ one here in the pic but it seems as if there are two versions of pre 97, the one in the pic looks like the bottom part is clearish while mine is red all across.... were there three styles? what years were they?
