E92 side repeaters

mistryn · 03-03-2013, 06:20 AM

Mine are starting to look mouldy from inside the lense, I think the seal has gone. I would like to replace them with smoked/lightly tinted ones. Anyone have any reccomendations?

I have looked on ebay and found a led version but not sure how good they would be?

Not these ones mate, mine has 3 led's in them, they are good quality for taiwan tat...lol

mistryn · 03-04-2013, 01:50 PM

I ended up buying the one in my link, I did see the led ones but they didnt look too oem for me so decided to stick with the normal ones. i did see a pics that Mr singh put up and they did look a bit too dark for me

don't waste your money - I bought these for my 1series and from a more reputable site than eBay.

They looked alright BUT they flickered a lot when not supposed to be on and just felt cheap eventually so put the originals back on.

mistryn · 03-04-2013, 02:02 PM

Another reason why I did not go with the above is that I read the clip on the back is made out of plastic rather than metal like oem and has a tendancy to break

Rob318 · 03-04-2013, 03:11 PM

What about some tinted laminx or something?

mistryn · 03-04-2013, 03:26 PM

Ive tried laminx on my old ones not very good at wrapping so bought the above in my link

Let us know what you think when you've fitted them.

mistryn · 03-05-2013, 02:36 AM

Will do

lummers · 03-06-2013, 01:14 PM

Yeah, thats the exact ones, I've had no botha wiv em, and think they look good on my black E92...very stealth!!!

The originals in my E91 are stamped Philips at the back and are not really of good quality either. The driver's side repeater was hanging loose one day and close inspection revealed that the plastic holder bit that holds the metal spring had broken and the metal spring was lost in the car innards for ever. I made another metal strip spring (diy) and glued it to the original half broken holder and put it back in place. Let us hope it holds on. Now I am waiting for the other side to hang loose soon due to plastic fatigue. Swedish BMW forum has quite a few of their members with similar problem. Original repeaters are definitely no better than the Taiwan copies!
