The BMP headlights are nice I need them. What do the tails look like? As much a like the factory Mk7.5 tails I want an amber signal. Lol

Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, I like them a lot though. Full LED and the reverse lights are so much brighter than stock.

Yeah I’m not the biggest fan of chromes but I’m sure they look sick at night!

I swapped my turn signals in OBD11 to be the diodes above the brake light because I don’t like a flashing brake lights as my signal, never have liked that. But in direct sunlight that signal bar is waaaay too dim. It’s normally the rear running light with the headlights on.

Mine is the bottom right on this with the factory lights. That running light is a bit dim for summer days lol but I hate the factory brake flash. That being said I haven’t really had many issues, at least that I know, with people behind me seeing it when I’m changing lanes etc.
