Z4 Facelifted Tail Lights

Will the new 2006 tail lights fit a older z4 model?

if so, where can you get them? from the dealer?

They wont fit, different shape I believe, hence a "facelift" Also the pre-06/07 tails have that split in the middle where as the facelifted one is one piece tail.

guys, thats not 100% correct. the taillights fit, when you change the rear bumper, too. A friend of me made this change last week.

I believe the question was whether they are a direct fit, which they aren't because it requires swapping the bumper as well. Anything can be fitted as long as you're willing to do whatever it takes to get them fit.

On a side note i actually really like that tail, and that CF diffuser never really liked the tail until seeing that picture.

I have an 03 Z4 with original rear lights....and i really dont like the amber turn signals anywhere....i went to the dealership to get an estimate on converting by HID to bi-xenon w/ clear blinker from an 05 model and it came out to $2,600 plus installation and taxes for the front lights alone....let me know how successful you are on the rear light conversion attempt

Junk yard is the best place to find these parts.

The brand new prices on these are just outrageous.

It's a vinyl taillight overlay, similar to the way people smoke out their taillights

I think that's normal, my car you can see a slight gap around the rim of the tail lights. And my car came from the factory like that. I think its normal? Here are two shots of my tails. Hope it helps you.
