Series 5 taillights installed

[Brian]

Just finished installing my series 5 taillights. It got dark out so I couldn't get good pics. Here
are a couple of not so good pics though. Will get some better pics tomorrow. Also the wiring
for the taillights is as follows:

Driver's side OEM
Purple=brake
Brown=reverse
Green=illumination
White w/black stripe=ground
Light green=turn signal

Passenger's side OEM
Orange=brake
Red=reverse
Gray=illumination
White w/black stripe=ground
Yellow=turn signal

Series 5 same for both lights
White w/black stripe=ground
Green w/yellow stripe=turn signal
Red w/blue stripe=reverse
Green w/white stripe=brake
Solid green=illumination

Looks good

[Brian]

Thanks. Just need to get some red film for them.

:thumbup:looking good!!!

[Pitt Yaris]

Yea, red film will definitely improve appearance even more.

[MadMax]

Nice, but we need better pics!

If you are using a digital camera, find a tripod, turn off the flash, and set the timer for a few seconds to take a picture in the dark.

Cheers! M2

The pics are from my phone plus it was too dark to get good ones. I will
have some better ones later today.

Here's some better pics.

Looks good ^^

Especially at night...

[Brian]

I like the way they illuminate at night. They seen much brighter than my altezza style ones
especially the turn signals. I had some spare 15 LED wedge bulbs that I used to replace the
reverse lights.

[LEGATO``]

goood stuff
can you take pics of what it looks like with the turn signal on, and also the reverse light on?

That looks great -- it's my favorite aftermarket tail for the sedan so far. :thumbsup:

[Brian]

I tried to take some pics but it just doesn't come out clear with my phone. I can't seen to find my
digital camera either since I moved. I can take some pics during the day tomorrow or just before
it gets completely dark out so the show up better. Good thing I just checked my reverse lights
though, I need to turn one of the bulbs around. Guess I should've yesterday.

I like them cause they also have a light smoke on them. Thanks again Garm.

Hey Brian, wasn't that a "Clear" type LED taillights? or is it stated "smoked" taillight when you purchase from Garm? I need to choose which is the best look for my black sedan

I don't remember if it stated clear or smoked. You really can't tell from the pics but if you see it
in person you can tell it has a light smoke to it. Maybe Garm can confirm this.

The Series 5 only comes one way.

[Red Horse]

Painted mine black I used liquid tape to mask the lumination part. Still look confusing and rice. You did a right choice on that 5 series tail looks more luxury

[PHXDEMON]

Thanks. Just need to get some red film for them.

Word. they look good but chrome tail lights are kinda :barf:

[BrazdonW]

Thanks. Just need to get some red film for them.

i couldn't agree more
love the way they light up

I was wondering how they looked without the red tint on it, they still look great. Once you get that red tint on them they really do look like the bmw series 5 tails!

I don't like the chrome either but I didn't feel like opening the up to paint them. I might later
on though and paint then like I did my altezza style ones. The chrome is a lot less noticeable
on the series 5 than the altezza style.

Brian,
What became of the Altezza smokes shown in your avatar? Are they available?

I still have them. But they are not smoked. I painted them black chrome. I might sell them
or modify them, haven't decided yet.

If they're in good working order and you choose to sell them pls. put me at the head of the list.

They work perfect. No LEDs out. Even has an OEM plug so no wiring is required. Just plug it in. I'll let you know what happens.

Very, very nice!

[JumpmanYaris]

My taillights are smoke a bit

[JeremyG]

Brian, would you mind to post up a pic which distance further away to show both taillights in one shot? thanks!:thumbsup:

[AznGouki]

I dunno about how I feel. Like they look good and all but its bmw 5 series styling. You might as well throw on M3 mirrors while you're at it. But unique and first time I've seen it nonetheless
