Facelift tail lights

Does anyone know where I can get a good set of the facelift tail lights? I'd prefer the smoked ones off of an E55, but if I can't find those, I'll be more than happy with the regular ones. I've checked eBay, and there's a guy with one used tail light left. And I'm not too sure about the quality of those aftermarket tail lights... Any help would be great!

Just get a set of those Depo taillights. They look pretty decent. My friend got a set last time he backed his dads car into a shopping cart.

you have the tail lights I want. haha

and I didn't like seeing the oval on mine, so I tinted the whole thing. Might be a little to dark for some (and me occasionally) lol

I'm not too big on aftermarket tail lights because I've seen moisture get inside them and make them look oxidized after a few months of having them on. Maybe if I give up on my search for some OEM ones... lol

if you change your mind, I just remembered i have a set of NIB Depo tails, all
smoked, that my brother bought for his car but never installed. he's overseas
playing soldier and it's just taking up room in my basement. i can post photo if
you have an interest. i was intrigued that they were shipped to the US from
Germany (based on invoice) but it is absent any MB-like part numbers so I
presume aftermarket. Not LED but uses same filament bulbs as OEM. has same
(non oval) design as 00-02 models

Well I am using some tail lights right now that are LED, and I've had them for 6+ months now; still holding up strong. They are from ebay, but I do not recall the seller/it's no longer in my purchase history. Do not order tail lights from sellers DTMOTO or P.S.Team. Their fitment was horrible, it didnt sit flush with the panel. you're better off smoking your tail lights yourself. that way you can get the tint to your liking.
