BMW E39 5 series pre-production September 2000 (9/00) came with the old-style halogen rear lights. Post September 2000 (9/00) BMW used much nicer lights, also made by Hella, that include LED segments. They look 100% better! Fitting the lights from a model-year 2001+ E39 to a model-year 2000 and older E39 was possible, but very difficult. Hella has made a retrofit kit for us model-year 2000 and older owners. Some minor modifications and the use of ballasts are required, but it's no big deal if you have a bit of time to work with (maybe 1-2 hours tops.) I purchased my kit (Part Number 63212496297RW) here: www.turnermotorsport.com I used Phillips Silvervision PY21W bulbs in my rear turn signals so you don't see the stock orange bulbs inside. I believe mine came from here: www.amazon.com Thanks so much for watching, let me know if you have any questions about this job!
