I am restoring / upgrading rear lights for many BMW models, including E3 and E9. I have a knack for doing good things to make the car more visible, thus less likely to be hit from behind.
I recently posted in 'parts wanted' to obtain orphaned or damaged lights for parts after a pair was received needing repair, but did not get much of a reply. I saw one on 'Flea Bay' for $1600. :eek: It looked new- very nice and shiny- but mine are not $3200 a pair, either.
Then, I learned of a Big Box of E9 bulb carriers (backs) - I have ordered and am expecting them soon!
I work with the backs, not the lenses, to keep cars operating with fully functional rear lights. I offer options: restored; repaired; and upgraded with dual tail light filaments to make the cars hugely more visible at night. I use safe high output lamps to make all light functions brighter. Some of you already have my restored lights in your coupes, and report good results. I can do limited repairs as needed with the parts.
If you would like a pair, restored or restored and upgraded with dual tail lights, they will be available for swap (no core, or refundable core of $100 per pair) or for purchase outright.
1) Send me an email or PM with work desired, and send your lights or request a build;
2) I proceed with restoration, repair, upgrades as requested, then ship finished lights;
4) You return your old lights here for the core refund or keep them in your stash. If you return them for your refund, I restore them for the next coupe.
I prefer your old backs in return, to continue the process (refundable core charge). This means your car is down for an hour or less while you swap out the backs and clean the lenses, then your lights go into the shop for restoration, and on into another coupe!
As soon as the lights arrive, I will start restoring them in pairs, and reserve them under your name and VIN in order as I hear from you and funds are received.
