Bad luck or are all OEM Black Line lights built crappy?
Just got a new set from a BMW dealer in the mail and am pretty disappointed. One main assembly came with a tab completely broken off (which is fair and just bad luck). And one of the trunk pieces has a piece of cardboard sealed in the main light assembly. Just emailed the dealer I ebayed from and hope they do the right thing.
But are everybody's this random in build quality? Even if nothing was broken and no cardboard was inside it comes off as odd that bmw would build a light where the sticky insulation seams show through to the front unevenly etc. First mod already delayed! |

Probably just bad luck...just saying Depo's are just as good for fraction of the cost.

You should absolutely complain. I can't imagine they would deny an exchange for another set. If they give you grief please post who they are so everyone can avoid them.

I just installed the Black Lines and noticed that the trunk portion of the lamp is not flush with the edge of the trunk? The stock ones do not have this issue. Anyone else has this issue as well?

snoozey, i wont know how well mine sit flush until i install but I will definitely get back to you about it asap. i just sent the ones i got back for an exchange so I'll probably have to wait a whole week before I even get them back.
bobkur, yea its nice being able to have a bmw option and not worry about codes etc... (at least for this noob). |

I don't know the dates for the first set that I sent back to the dealer. I just got the new set yesterday, opened them and confirmed no cardboard was stuck inside the clear housing but don't recall the dates. I will edit here when I get home later. I'm glad my new set came without the broken plastic or specs inside. I am still shocked at how crappy the plastic is cut etc... Still prefer them to stock lights, though, so I will put them on regardless.
