Installed some new lic plate light units
I like the look of these, they resemble small bumperetts and light up the plate really well.

Very nice more details please. What/who's lights are they? New or used? Were you able to utilize any of the existing holes in the bumper? I want to do the same on my car. Thanks

Same here, I'm not really sold on the setup I have on my rear bumper. I like what you have going there. Where and how much$

I purchased them for 16 euro ( just under $20) from a local parts place (Trost). They have the lights on a large emergency light display. If you choose to they will install in existing holes in your bumper since you can drill mounting holes in the back of the light unit to match. I had already filled in all the holes so I drilled new ones. Yeah Mike the plate is slightly lower on the right, I will work on that. =o) Very nice Moses...that is a very nice combo on your car!

i really like those i bet they light up the license plate.
we used the oem lights for mine and dremeled thru the bumper cover. its ok for now but its not a whole lot of light. maybe i can put a plate under the bases of the lights to raise them or something. i dont know if its inefficentcy is enough reason to be stopped and ticketed or not, but this is something furhter down on my to do/ redo list

I used Datsun/Nissan lights on mine($5 at a salvage yard), but the BMW lights that TRE has are a better solution.
 TRE's BMW lights
