Hey,

It would be great if anyone had any information of the best place to get a set, that would be great.
Had a little look myself as thee was mentions of checking out ebay.de but no luck so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just got a set a month ago; ended up buying them from a ebay seller the US and they shipped here within a few days. I had been on the lookout since the start of the year as the prices were usually quite high, but I finally found a decently-priced pair.

My tip is to search ebay using the part number from the realoem website.

Ahh thank you.
Appreciate the info. How much did they cost you combined with postage and how long did they take?
 
Useful info in this thread, for a number of different reasons: (including me getting my euro light successfully)

:thumbsup: pretty much exactly what i needed to know, will be on the llok out on Ebay US. Would love the idea of led bulbs too, you got a set?
 
I only used a LED bulb for the fog light; it's ok but not perfect - no built-in resistor so I do get a bulb warning on the dash from time to time, and it seemed impossible to get LED bulbs with symetrical dimples on the base, but you can squeeze and offset one in fine and it still works.

I have a spare LED bulb if you ever need it; can't see me ever having to use the other one that came in the pack.
 
What tail lights are you looking for? The ones with the white side markers? A friend of mine is selling his on a Spanish forum. Here is the link:
https://www.bmwfaq.org/threads/opticas-faros-traseros-de-bmw-z4-e85-pre-en-blanco-y-con-led.976779/
So you can have a look, they are the symetrical ones with LED bulbs and is asking 325€, if you are interested let me know and I'll ask him for his email or something.
 
Ahh, apologies - I read 'euro' and thought the OP just wanted the off-side to match the near-side (which is what I've done). Didn't realise it was the white ones wanted.

I'll get my coat.
 
Be quick...

Thanks for your help guys.
Decided to alter my choice over the weekend and DIY facelift the rear end instead.
