Any new tail lights for a pre-LCI

I have an 08 with the pre-LCI tail lights and was curious if anybody out there has made a conversion for something better than what we have. It’d be nice to have something that you can swap in without having to buy a trunk to get the updated tail lights.

You'll just need the adapter harnesses with the OEM LCI tail lights. I recently did this and you can get it coded with protool or bimmercode. It's a straight forward upgrade.

I should’ve mentioned this is for an E90. You have to have the updated trunk as well, which is annoying.

When I was looking at buying an E90 I was considering the Euro tails. There was also an aftermarket set that looked nice but can't remember the name now. It was like 'moon' something? If I remember I'll edit my post.

But yea otherwise you gotta do the whole song and dance, or just come to accept the look. Some people actually prefer the pre-LCI so...

Yeah, I totally get that but it seems like so. Many aftermarket manufacturers are doing different things for newer models. I didn’t know if I had just missed something with the older stuff.
